My baby gives me the finance blues

Tax me to the limit of my revenues

Here she come finger popping clickety click

She says "furs or diamonds, you can take your pick"

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

Money, money, money, money, money

Money, money, money, money, money

She says "Money, honey", I'd rob a bank

I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank

Knocking off my neighbourhood savings and loan

To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de Cologne

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

Money, money, money, money, money

Money, money, money, money, money

Mama, don't send me down to rob that bank again

I got a notion you're leading me to sin

Won't you relax, won't you lay way back

Don't you bug your honey about no Cadillac

It's only bucks, you don't need no jack

So won't you please relax and lay way back

My baby's loving gives me such a thrill

It gives me inspiration making counterfeit bills

Now some folks say the best things in life are free

I sure don't get no loving living honestly

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

Money, money, money, money, money

Money, money, money, money, money

Lord made a lady out of Adam's rib

Next thing you know you got women's lib

Lovely to look upon, heaven to touch

It's a real shame they got to cost so much

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

She wants money
(what she wants)

Money, money, money, money, money

Money, money, money, money, money

Definetly one of the most mysoginist songs in the Grateful Dead songbook. Guess that's why they only played it live 3 times.
