When preacher can’t preach you
And teacher can’t teach you
When angels can’t reach you
The money cat can
We give social status
To countrified tomatoes
If you want kicks
And class and clothes
Money cat knows where the money tree grows
Beauticians will sleek you
Fashion cats chic you
Aristocrats seek you
Man
Man
Man
Man
Man
Man
And should that dream of glory
Be part of your plan
If anyone can help you
The money cat can
Money cat knows where the money tree grows
Mingle with the right folk
Meet the bottle poppers
Rub elbow with the elite
And the big name-droppers
If you got your heart set
On moochin’ with the smart set
Money cat knows
Where the money tree grows
Get your picture painted
On the magazine cover
You can have a palace
With the world your lover
Money cat can buy up
Anyone who’s high up
We’ve got dicks and politics and law
In the palm of our paw
The gendarmes may nail you
The lawyers may fail you
The judges may jail you
Man
So why be a flopola
With egg on your pan
If anyone can save you
The money cat can
Meow!
