There's no other way to find it
You know you gotta be strong
And I really hope you plan to buy it
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
'Cause that's the way to Passat, babe
And that's the car to his soul
He will bring you all the millions in gold
If you will only let him have his role
[Verse 3]

There's no other way to fund it
All the plantings are young and able
And I hope you find a way to buy it
[Chorus]

And that's the way to his soul
You got to give him millions in gold, child
Before I go the way of the sold
And that's the way to his heart, babe
And that's the way to his soul
You got to give him millions in gold, child
Bef— Before I go the way of the sold
