Money Makes Millionaires
I’ve been in all those places
I guess I’ve seen them all
in every shabby small town hall
I’ve seen the gazing faces
I know them well, them fancy guys
the cream of city bars
a diamond ring, a big cigar
a cheap thrill in the eyes
money
money makes millionaires
oh money
money makes millionaires
but honey
I sing the song
I danced in dazzling limelight
with champions and kings
I wrapped my hand in diamond rings
it wouldn’t light my nights
the echo of a crowd’s hurray
success is a sweet perfume
the flowers in the dressing room
may bloom another day
I sang a sentimental tune
it would sell a million
but standin’ by the window sill
a girl cried for the moon
when on Bonanza Boulevard
the golden lights are down
maybe you will stay around
and smoke the last cigar
the echo of a crowd’s hurray
success is a sweet perfume
the flowers in the dressing room
may bloom another day
money
money makes millionaires
oh money
money makes millionaires
but honey
I sing the song
