Lyrics:

“It’s Money That I Love” by Randy Newman appears on his 1979 album, Born Again.

Newman is known for his caustic wit, and it shines in this satire of materialism in the U.S.
I don't love the mountains
I don't love the sea
I don't love Jesus
He never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Smart like my dad
Or good like my mama

It's money that I love
It's money that I love

They say that money
Can't buy love in this world
But it'll get you a half-pound of cocaine
And a sixteen-year-old girl
And a great big long limousine
On a hot September night
Now that may not be love
But it is all right

One, two
It's money that I love
Wanna kiss you
Three, four
It's money that I love

Used to worry 'bout the poor
But I don't worry anymore
Used to worry 'bout the black man
Now I don't worry 'bout the black man
Used to worry about the starving children of India
You know what I say now about the starving children of India?
I say, 'Oh, mama'

It's money that I love
It's money that I love


It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
