Money 1922

A girl might fall in love with you,
with you I will be frank,
but she would fall much quicker
if you've money in the bank,
for the girls like wealth
I'll say they do,
there's something 'bout the stuff,
That drives the girls near crazy
they can never get enough.

Of money that's what they sigh for
Money that's what they cry for
Money to a little girl
means more than any smile.
Money makes them laugh and dance
and love you all the while,
Money, those lovely greenbacks
they torment a girlie more or less,
Money may be dirty stuff,
but who ever gave a girl enough
of money, not me, I must confess.

Money counts more than speeches
Money it wins the peaches
even though you haven't got
much hair upon your head.
For the cash some girl would take you
tho' you're almost dead,
Money will draw girls to you
while you've got the dough
to you they'll cling,
never worry 'bout your looks
for nothing can beat the old bank books
for money, sure is one lovely thing.

You may have personality
a voice as sweet as birds
and you may charm some people
with your eloquence with words,
but without the dough
your chance is slim
of making some girl care
for girls these days aren't fussy
'bout the way you comb your hair.

Of money that's what they sigh for
Money that's what they cry for
Money to a little girl
means more than any smile.
Money makes them laugh and dance
and love you all the while,
Money, those lovely greenbacks
they torment a girlie more or less,
Money may be dirty stuff,
but who ever gave a girl enough
of money, not me, I must confess.

Money counts more than speeches
Money it wins the peaches
even though you haven't got
much hair upon your head.
For the cash some girl would take you
tho' you're almost dead,
Money will draw girls to you
while you've got the dough
to you they'll cling,
never worry 'bout your looks
for nothing can beat the old bank books
for money, sure is one lovely thing.
