{Oh step right up, ladies an' gentleman
An see the big black rapping cowboy
An' take a peek at the original cowboy
Stevie Wonder}

{Oh grab yourself a quarter
An' come see the world's only two foot [Incomprehensible]
We've got free popcorn an' balloons for the kids
Come on down}

Everybody's tryin' to get filthy rich
Off of somebody else's money

Grandma worked her whole life
Sewin' at a shirt factory
She was savin' for retirement
She had 'em take a little out every week

But then a big man up in a high rise
He cashed in his options and run
Well, he took all her money and buddy that ain't funny
Now Granny's work will never be done

'Cause everybody's tryin' to get filthy rich
Off of somebody else's money
Hey, me and my friends, we were talkin' 'bout that
Ole Freddy, Bill and Sonny

And how with all my brains and all your cash
We can make a million, you can bet your ass
Everybody's tryin' to get filthy rich

Off of somebody else's money

I saw a preacher on the TV
With big diamond rings on his hand
He was beggin' for some money
He said to send us every penny you can

I guess the good Lord's got a mortgage
And a payment on a yacht in the Keys
So we better keep sendin' our hard earned livin'
To those God-fearin' folks on TV

'Cause everybody's tryin' to get filthy rich
Off of somebody else's money
Hey, me and my friends, we were talkin' 'bout that
Ole Freddy, Bill and Sonny

And how with all my brains and all your cash
We can make a million, you can bet your ass
Everybody's tryin' to get filthy rich
Off of someone else's money

Oh, it's Max on the sax

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, with all my brains and all your cash
We can make a million, you can bet your ass
Everybody's tryin' to get filthy rich
Off of someone else's money

Everybody's tryin' to get big and rich
Off of someone else's money
