A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?

[Verse 1]
          A                     D
Well you smile for the camera, take a snap shot
     E                     A
You get a photograph, but what have you got?
                              D
The prettiest picture that I ever did see
        A                       E       A
was a Lincoln on a greenback looking at me.

[Chorus]
A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?
           D                     A
Well this great green earth's so big and round
       E                            A
Won't ever hold the beauty of the banks downtown
      D                     A
The wonders of space won't ever hold the thrills
                               E             A
like getting your hands on a twenty dollar bill.
A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?

[Verse 2]
A                        D
Flour and a bacon and a pot full of beans
E                        A
Ain't gonna win me the beauty of my dreams
                              D
I gotta send flowers like a little red rose
        A                           E            A
And I gotta have the money in the pockets of my clothes

[Chorus]
A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?
           D                     A
Well this great green earth's so big and round
       E                            A
Won't ever hold the beauty of the banks downtown
      D                     A
The wonders of space won't ever hold the thrills
                               E             A
like getting your hands on a twenty dollar bill.
A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?

[Verse 3]
      A                            D
I'll work and I'll slave for the rest of my life
    E                     A
To feed six kids and a hungry wife
    A                       D
I can't take it with me to save my neck
          A                      E            A
But I'd like to have a little 'fore I go by heck

[Chorus]
A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?
           D                     A
Well this great green earth's so big and round
       E                            A
Won't ever hold the beauty of the banks downtown
      D                     A
The wonders of space won't ever hold the thrills
                               E             A
like getting your hands on a twenty dollar bill.
A              D
What's money? What's money?
    A         E
So you wanna know?
        A
What's money?
