Shakin’ on a string, you know

You make me feel like dancin’  
I wanna dance the night away

Money don’t matter 2 night

Money money money money, money [Repeat: x 6]

Got to have it, I really need it  
How many things have I heard you say  
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down  
For the love of money

All for the love of money  
Don’t let, don’t let, don’t let money rule you  
For the love of money  
Money can change people sometimes

Don’t let, don’t let, don’t let money fool you  
Money can fool people sometimes  
People! Don’t let money, don’t let money change you,  
It will keep on changing, changing up your mind.

The Apprentice theme song.

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down  
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground  
Into the blue again after the money’s gone  
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

When I’m out walking, I strut my stuff  
Yeah, and I’m so strung out  
I’m high as a kite, I just might  
Stop to check you out

Let me go on  
Like I blister in the sun  
Let me go on  
Big hands, I know you’re the one

Well it ain’t my fault  
My fault that things gone wrong  
And it ain’t my fault

My parties have all the big names  
And I greet them with the widest smile  
Tell them how my life  
Is one big adventure  
And always they’re amazed  
When I showed them 'round the house to my bed  
I had it made like a mountain range  
With a snow white pillow for my big fat head

And my heaven will be a big heaven  
And I will walk through the front door

Woke up, fell out of bed  
Dragged a comb across my head  
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup  
And looking up I noticed I was late  
Found my coat and grabbed my hat  
Made the bus in seconds flat  
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke  
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

First we’ll pick Priscilla up and then we’ll stop for Jane  
And Mary Ellen needs a ride, we’re goin’ by her place  
We’re goin’ to a party, our friends will all be there  
I got the directions, it’s across the river somewhere

We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer  
Top floor, bottom buzzer  
Top floor, bottom buzzer  
The middle won’t work  
Ring the one under
