Send "The Millionaire" Ringtone to your Cell
Dr. HookThe Millionaire Lyrics:
Before we begin, thank you, thank you,
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
I'm not a bad person. (I know.)
I don't drink and I don't kill.
I've got no evil habits,
And I probably never will.
I don't sing like Elvis Presley. (A-hey, hey, hey.)
I can't dance like Fred Astaire.
But there's one thing in my favor. (What?)
I'm a millionaire. (That's beautiful.)
And I got more money,
Than a horse has hairs.
'Cause my rich, old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers.
But havin' all this money,
Is gonna bring me down.
If you ain't with me, honey,
To help me spread it around.
I could get myself a nose job,
I could diet for a year,
But I'll never be Robert Redford,
'Cause I'm much too fond of beer [1] .
Please don't misunderstand me,
It's not love I'm tryin' to buy.
It's just I got all this-here money,
And I'm a pretty, ugly guy.
But I got more money,
Than a horse has hairs.
'Cause my rich, old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers.
But havin' all this money,
Is gonna bring me down.
If you ain't with me, honey,
To help me spread it around.
I don't mind if you love me for my money,
If you love me for whatever else I've got.
But, 'cept for all this stuff, I'm alone in Fort Knox.
I don't guess I'm doin' all that hot.
But I got more money,
Than a horse has hairs.
'Cause my rich, old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers.
But havin' all this money,
Is gonna bring me down.
If you ain't with me, honey,
To help me spread it around.
[The backup singers begin repeating, "Money, money, money, money," while
the lead singer speaks.]
Hey, you, come here, baby.
Stop cryin'.
Put a quarter in the jukebox.
Hahahaha.
[Fade.]
(Money, money...)

[1] Seems strange to me that the singer declares in the first verse that
he doesn't drink and now here he is in the second verse, telling us he's,
"much too fond of beer."]
