Money Greases the Wheels

(Dallas Frazier)



There's a whole lot of talk about loving

But let me tell you how I feel

Loving may keep this old world turning

But money greases the wheels

I said the money greases the wheel.



Well, one time these two brothers

Were floatin' down the river on a raft

One brother fell in the water

The other brother, ah, he just laughed

And said, ''I'll save you for a dollar and a half.''



Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving

But let me tell you how I feel

Loving may keep this old world turning

But money greases the wheels

I said the money greases the wheel.



Well, a long time ago this outlaw

He robbed and killed and stole

His girlfriend heard about a reward

She went to the sheriff and told

And got ten thousand dollars in gold.



Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving

But let me tell you how I feel

Loving may keep this old world turning

But money greases the wheels

I said the money greases the wheel.

Well, one time in Las Vegas

A gambler was shootin' craps

He lost all his money and his baby

But when he won his money back

He got ten new babies on his lap.



Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving

But let me tell you how I feel

Loving may keep this old world turning

But money greases the wheels

I said the money greases the wheel.



Well, there's a whole lot of talk about loving

But let me tell you how I feel

Loving may keep this old world turning

But money greases the wheels

I said the money greases the wheel...
