Money, Money, Money
ABBA · The Essential Collection [2012]
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
Money, Money, Money
ABBA's "Money, Money, Money" stands as a quintessential example of late 1970s pop, blending disco rhythms with the group's signature harmonies. Released on "The Essential Collection [2012]," this track captures the band's evolution into a more mature sound while retaining the infectious energy that defined their career. The song features the characteristic four-part vocal arrangement that became ABBA's hallmark, showcasing the intricate interplay between Agnetha, Björn, Benny, and Anni-Frid. As a staple of their discography, it reflects the era's shift toward dance-oriented pop without sacrificing lyrical depth. The recording remains a defining piece of Swedish international success, illustrating how the group mastered the fusion of traditional pop structures with emerging dance trends of the time.
