Goldfever

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.

That's not the way, that's not the way of the world

Late night creeper with a Saturday Night,

Saturday Night Special

After some poor storekeeper,

You need more and more just to stay alive

Ooh it's a sin, baby you fight to win

But the rich get richer

And the poor keep living in ditches

Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever

Don't you know that it's on old fever

And I tell you it's a cold killer

Said I'm talking about Goldfever

Don't you know that it's an old fever

And I tell you it's a heartbreaker

Yeah I'm talking about Goldfever

Let me tell about, let me tell you about Goldfever

Big business man, incorporate this,

Incorporate that, yeah

You're making all them dollar bills

But you no longer see humanity needs love

Ooh, it's a crime, baby in 3/4 time

Go on with your billions

While the people keep on dying in millions

Goldfever, let me tell you about Goldfever

Don't you know that it's on old fever

And I tell you it's a cold killer

Said I'm talking about Goldfever

Don't you know that it's an old fever

And I tell you it's a heartbreaker

Yeah I'm talking about Goldfever

Let me tell you about, let me tell you about goldfever

And it hits you like a cold fever

It comes on like a real sensation

But it will leave you in desolation

Yeah, I'm talking about Goldfever

And though I know that it's an old fever

It's a number one best seller

And it can put you in heaven or hell

Ah, let me tell you about Goldfever

Don't you know that it's an old fever

And I tell you it's a cold killer

Let me tell you about Goldfever

Let me tell you about, let me tell you about Goldfever
