Song of the Day: Money (That’s What I Want) by The Flying Lizards


I did check my stock portfolio this morning.  Jeff warned me not to.  Erin told me not to.  If I had asked my other sisters, I’m sure they would have said, “Don’t do it, just let our broker deal with it….”

But I checked.  Agck!

It’s funny.  I didn’t really care about money until I had it.

Anyway, today’s song of the day should make sense now.

The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees

I need money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)

Your love give me such a thrill
But your love don’t pay my bills

I need money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)

Money don’t get everything, it’s true
But what it don’t get, I can’t use

I need money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)

Money (that’s what I want)
Lots of money (that’s what I want)
Whole lot of money (that’s what I want)
Uh-huh (that’s what I want)
All I want (that’s what I want)
Whoa, yeah (that’s what I want)

Give me money (that’s what I want)
Oh, lots of money (that’s what I want)
All those lean greens, yeah (that’s what I want)
I got that, uh, that’s what I mean (that’s what I want)
All that I want (that’s what I want)
Whoa, yeah (that’s what I want)
Give me money, yeah
