Just For The Bucks

Lyrics

JUST FOR THE BUCKS Methyl Ethel, she’s out in the street She’s taking advantage of a midnight treat Flash a C-note in her eyes Did you know, did you know She was a dancer by trade? Guaranteed reaction in every club that she’s played People came from miles around to budget her show But she never saw the money she made ... oh, no What could have made her do such a thing? Whoa, whoa, yeah, just for the bucks... Whoa, whoa, whoa, just for the bucks... See the politician doing his tricks Ain’t no election that he can’t fix Even with that he’s still not content Now his picture’s imprinted on the money that’s spent ... oh, yeah What could have made him do such a thing? Whoa, whoa, whoa, just for the bucks... yeah Whoa, whoa, whoa, just for the bucks... come on Oh, yeah, yeah, just for the bucks... I know bull walks, but money talks But I’ve been thinkin’ `bout you and me and All those things that we’ve lost Money talks ... oh, no ... oh, yeah ... well Beware of big business Makes the pocketbook bleed With the Lord as my witness I’ve never seen so much greed While a ballerina is doing her splits ... well Someone else is learning how to walk on their lips ... oh, yeah What could have made her ever do such a thing? Whoa, whoa, yes, just for the bucks... Oh, whoa, whoa, just for the bucks... oh, yeah Oh, yeah, yeah, just for the bucks... ah, yeah
