Can you use any money today?


[1st Refrain:]
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Can you use any money today?
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Nice new bills that we're giving away

There are photographs on ev'ry one
Lincoln, Grant and Washington
Or you might like the ones with Henry Clay
Can you use any money today?

Two million, four million, six million, eight million, ten
Take what you want, when it's gone you can come back again

Bills that haven't been printed yet
You can have them by the sack
Coins that haven't been minted yet
That you never have to give back

Money, money, money, money, money, money
Uncle Sam puts it right on the line
And if we ever run out of checks for him to sign
You can have mine
All of mine
You can have mine

[2nd refrain:]
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Can you use any dollars today?
Money, money, money, money, money, money
We've so much that it gets in our way

In our Treas'ry there's a mighty sum
Millions we've subtracted from
The envelopes that hold our take home pay
Can you use any money today?

Home in the states underground there's a cave full of gold
Back up a truck and we'll fill it with all it can hold
Take ten million and please don't fuss
If you find it can't be spent
You can lend it right back to us
And we'll pay you seven percent

Money, money, money, money, money, money
Uncle Sam puts it right on the line
And if that feller with whiskers ever should decline
You can have mine
All of mine
You can have mine

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Irving Berlin, pseudonimo di Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), è stato uno dei compositori americani più influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Temesvár, in Romania, da una famiglia ebrea, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti all'età di 5 anni. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante e pianista nei locali di New York, scrivendo le sue prime canzoni mentre lavorava come cameriere. Nel 1911 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Alexander's Ragtime Band", che divenne un inno nazionale durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Berlin compose centinaia di canzoni, tra cui "White Christmas", "God Bless America" e "This Is a Lovely Day". Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili, testi semplici ma efficaci e una profonda comprensione del gusto popolare americano. Berlin ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui l'Oscar alla carriera nel 1971. La sua musica continua ad essere eseguita e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
