Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Lord, look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Man, that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
And lemme tell you brother, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs

[Verse 2]
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup?
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
Yeah, that little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire

[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs

[Verse 3: Knopfler and Sting]
You shoulda learned to play the guitar
Man, you shoulda learned to bang them drums
And look at that mama, got it stickin' in the camera
Yeah, we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
You get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free

[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs

[Outro]
I want my, I want my
I want my MTV
We want our MTV

But that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
Yeah that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
You get your money for nothin', and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', and chicks for free
You get your money for nothin', and your chicks for free
