When i was just a child
My life was oh so simple
And the ways of the great world
Seemed strange and funny
Then when i was a young man
I learned of that machine
That turns out all those bails of precious money
That's money the thing
Now you can measure your manhood by it
You can get your children to try it
You can bring your enemies to their knees
With the possible exception of the north vietnamese
It takes a strong hit from the money machine
Sitting on top on top of the world
Strong hit from the money machine
Sitting on top on top of the world
General motors and ibm
Afl cio and all the king's men
When i began the game
See me singing bout fire and rain
Let me just say it again
I've seen fives and i've seen tens
It was a strong hit from the money machine
Sitting on top on top of the world
Strong hit from the money machine
Settle up top on top of the world
Give me that dough
Been living in the lap of luxury too long
Please mr dj won't you play my song
Maybe my baby will listen on the radio
Come back home to me
Help me spend my dough
I need a strong hit
Give me that dough
Many the cheag plaes
Sitting on top on top of the goddamn world
I need a strong hit
Give me that dough from the money machine
Sitting on top on top of the world
