Viva La Money
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nothing make 'em holler
Like the almighty dollar
The ? again
If he's rich treat him nice
Give him the cut price
Then overcharge the poor some more
It can buy cheap thrills
It can pay a few bills
It can get you half killed, fast
It can fool your heart
Make you think you're smart
Tear friends apart, fast
Viva la money
Viva la money
Viva la money
Viva la money
It can do some good
It can do some bad
It can make you happy
It can make you sad
It can make you do right
It can make you do wrong
It'll still be around
When you're dead and gone
Viva la money
Viva la money
Viva la money
Viva la money
Now daddy told mama
To shake that thing
And mama said she would
For a diamond ring
Now mama's got the lord
And daddy too bad
'Cause daddy's up in heaven
And the money's in the bank
Viva la money
Viva la money
Viva la money
Viva la money
