The Money Song
Lyricist:Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx
Help the homeless, help the homeless Ooh, hey, hey, Princeton, give me a quarter Here in my hat Come on, Princeton, it's as easy as that
Helping others brings you closer to God So, give me a quarter I don't have any change Okay, give me a dollar
What? That's not what I meant Give me a five Uh, are you kidding? The more you give, the more you get That's being alive
All I'm asking you is to do What Jesus Christ would do He'd give me a quarter, why don't you? All right, all right, here you go Ah, thanks, take care
Whoa, what's the matter? I feel generous, I feel compassionate You do? Yeah, yeah I feel like a new person, a good person Helping other people out makes you feel fantastic That's what I've been trying to tell you
All this time I've been running around thinking About me, me, me but where has it gotten me? I'm gonna do something for someone else, me? No, Kate I'm going to raise the money to build That stupid Monster School she's always talking about
Give me your money, what? I need it for Kate, I need it to eat Come on Nicky, oh, get lost It'll make you feel great So would a burger
When her dream comes true It'll all be partly thanks to you So, give me your money, I'd like to but I can't Give me your money, I'd like to but I need it Give me your money, I'd like to but I'm homeless
I can't, I need it, I'm homeless I can't, I need it, I'm homeless I can't, I need it, I'm homeless Okay, here you go, thank you
Suddenly I am feeling closer to God It's time to stop begging It's time to start giving What can I give to Rod?
Something he'll like so much He'll take me back Ooh, I know I'll find him a boyfriend That's the spirit
When you help others You can't help helping yourself When you help others You can't help helping yourself
Hey boys, what's the hat for? Ooh, we're collecting money Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh, it's for Kate, we're raising money To help build her dream school
Give us your money You'll be glad that you did That's just what my parents told me When I was a kid, shit
But giving feels so great And I bet it wouldn't hurt your chances with Kate Well, that too, I'll give you a dollar You're a gentleman and a scholar
We so happy, we just exchange All your wedding gifts for cash Honey, don't tell them that We get about 2,000 bucks Um, yeah, so thanks everybody, we rich
Give us your money Give us your money Give us your goddamn money Give us the dough Give us the dough
We're raising money for a Monster School But we've got all ways to go Sounds like you've got money to burn And it's not like money that you had to earn So, give us your money
A monster school, sounds like a good cause Give me your wallet Oh my gosh, I don't know how to thank you guys I mean, Kate will be so grateful That kind of money is such a great start
Yeah, 15 dollars, yeah 15 dollars? Every little bit help Looks like we're gonna have to ask More people
Hey, give us your money All that you've got just fork it on over Or some puppets will get shot It's time to pass the hat And there's nothing you can do â€~bout that
So, give us your money Give us your money Give us your money Give us your money Give us your money
When you help others You can't help helping yourself When you help others You can't help helping yourself
Every time you do good deeds You're also serving your own needs When you help others You're really helping yourself
When you give to a worthy cause You'll feel as jolly as Santa Clause When you help others You can't help helping yourself
