[Verse 1] In the middle of May In the seconds of the very last shades of day I see that nobody's kids anymore Though we look that way from the 24th-floor​ window
Cause it's easy to be the miser when no one's the wiser Easy to shake down Easy to glean the green from Bayridge to Queens Easy to wear the crown
[Pre-Chorus] They say that this place ain't got a heart Cause I can still hear the beat And every night is oh-oh-oh-ah-oh, oh-oh-oh-ah-oh From all the way down the street
[Chorus] It goes on and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (the slumlord doesn't care)
[Verse 2] Staying out the hallway and hold tight till Saturday Cause you got the rent to pay Dreams of shelling out next to none, with no rubicon Well, honey, those days are done
Shelling out three Gs for four walls and keys Hey, at least you can run the town Shaking our pockets loose, but hey, what's the use? I guess we're takin' it sitting down
[Pre-Chorus] They say that this place ain't got a heart Cause I can still hear the beat And every night is oh-oh-oh-ah-oh, oh-oh-oh-ah-oh From all the way down the streett
[Chorus 2] It goes on and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money)
[Chorus 3] It goes on and on and (but they want that money) On and on and (they want that money-eh-eh-eh-ey) On and on and (they want that money) On and on and (they want that money-eh-eh-eh-ey)
[Outro: Spoken] E' così che vive la discoteca il pubblico xenoniano Con la sua piccola [?] In una maniera diversa, alla nostra maniera!
