about

Yes everybody needs enough money to live a comfortable life. Mahatma Gandhi told us "There is enough for everybody's need and not for everybody's greed", wise words indeed.

Getting money seems to be such an obsession for many people and maybe in the the process we forget to make time for the truly wonderful things in life that money can't buy.

Giving can bring more happiness and joy to us than receiving.

lyrics

The Meaning of Money by S Laffy & J Flinter

Intro/Chorus
The meaning of money, what are you going do with it
The meaning of money, you get just what you give x 2

Verse 1
Money doesn’t make the world go around
It doesn’t make the birds sing
It doesn’t walk it doesn’t talk
It doesn’t really do a thing
Money can’t make a flower grow, it can’t make a baby smile
Some things that money does, it makes me want to run and hide

Chorus
The meaning of money, what are you going do with it
The meaning of money, you get just what you give x 2

Verse 2
Having money a whole lot of money, can’t buy another day
You know your wealth won’t buy you health
Sometimes it takes it all away
Money can buy some things in life
Some things that we just don’t need
When you need a friend or a lover, money just don’t succeed

Chorus
The meaning of money, what are you going do with it
The meaning of money, you get just what you give x 2

Bridge
If you give a lot then you will get a lot whoo oh oh, whoo oh oh
If you give a lot then you will get a lot
Make a change, make a change come on everybody let’s make a change

Key Change
Chorus
The meaning of money, what are you going do with it
The meaning of money, you get just what you give x 2

S O L O (8 bars of verse)

Verse 3 Short
Sometimes money gets in the way of doing something that is real
When it comes back down to it, it’s all about the way we feel

Repeat Chorus x 2 till end
