about

Originally done in the Punk/Ska band Dirty Movies in Toronto

lyrics

I want to be rich
And live in the south of France
I want to be rich
And be able to buy romance
I want to be rich
Hire someone to drive my car
I want to be rich
And eat caviar by the jar
I want to be rich
And never get dirt on my hands
I want to be rich
And drink the imported brands

I want to be rich
Buy a congressman or two
I want to buy class
And be one of the well-heeled few
I want to be rich
And give parties on my yacht
I want to be rich
And flaunt all the things I've got
I want to be rich
And get the taxman off my back
I want to be rich
And buy all the things I lack.

Chorus

Give me money, give me cash
A teller's cheque will do,
I want to have a bank account
That will change my blood to blue.

I want to be rich
And live a patrician existence
I want to be rich,
It's better than mere subsistence
I want to be rich
Happiness takes too long
I want to be rich
An consumer of stocks and bonds
I want to be rich
Give parties on my yacht
I want to be rich
And laugh at those who are not.

Chorus to end
