Make That Money (Scrooge's Song)

Alice Cooper · Zipper Catches Skin [2010]

When I was a boy I never played with toys

Never had a friend, never laughed or cried much

And when I was a boy my father was a man

With a strict and sturdy hand, no soft touch



Make that money, make that money

Make that money run like honey on your tongue

Gotta make that money, make that money

Listen sonny, learn to sting before you're stung



Now that I'm a man every penny has been planned

I'm financially grand and perfectly greedy

Sentimental fools, I make all your rules

I've got your cash, your jewels, they're all mortgaged to me



Make that money, make that money

Make that money run like honey on your tongue

Gotta make that money, make that money

Listen sonny, learn to sting before you're stung



And I know 'cause he told me so, told me so

I believe him, I still believe

Give me that money



Controlling all your cash, I could make you live in trash

I eat pheasant, you eat hash, no philanthropy

But when it's time for me to croak bury me with all my dough

And where there should've been an oak my private money tree will grow



Make that money, said make that money

Make that money run like honey on your tongue



Told me so, told me so

He told me so
