[CLIFF, spoken]
So, what would I have to do?
[MAN, spoken]
Oh, um, it's so very simple. You go to an address I will give you, you pick up a small briefcase, you bring it back to Berlin and I will give you seventy-five marks
[SALLY, spoken]
Seventy-five marks?!
[MAN, spoken]
This is only the beginning! So you will go to Paris?
[CLIFF, spoken]
Absolutley! Anything for a buck. Prost!
[MAN, spoken]
Prost!
[SALLY, spoken]
Prost!
[EMCEE]
Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round
[CABARET GIRLS]
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
[EMCEE & (CABARET GIRLS)]
If you happen to be rich (Ooh)
And you feel like a night's entertainment (Money)
You can pay for a gay escapade
(Money, money, money, money)
If you happen to be rich and alone (Ooh)
And you need a companion (Money)
You can ring (Ting-a-ling) for the maid
If you happen to be rich (Ooh)
And you find you are left by your lover (Money)
Though you moan and you groan quite a lot
(Money, money, money, money)
You can take it on the chin (Ooh)
Call a cab and begin to recover (Money)
On your 14-karat yacht!
Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
Of that we can be sure!
Pfft on being poor!
[CABARET GIRLS]
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
(Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money!)
[EMCEE]

Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
[EMCEE & CABARET GIRLS]
When you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse at the wind at your fate
When you haven't any shoes on your feet
Your coat's thin as paper
And you look 30 pounds underweight
You go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore
[EMCEE]
But when hunger comes to rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat
At the window
[CABARET GIRLS]
At the window!
[EMCEE, spoken]
Who's there?
[CABARET GIRLS, spoken]
Hunger!
[EMCEE, spoken]
Urgh, hunger!
(sung)
See how love flies out the door for...
Money makes the world
[CABARET GIRLS]
Go around
[EMCEE]
The world
[CABARET GIRLS]
Go around
[EMCEE]
The world
[CABARET GIRLS]
Go around
[EMCEE]
Money makes the
[CABARET GIRLS]
Go around
[EMCEE]
The clinking, clanking sound of
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Get a little, get a little
Money, money, money, money
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound
Is all that makes the world go 'round
