(A duet with Ray Walker)


I'm on the right track for lots of kissin'
So that old greenback, I won't be missin'
All the greatest things in life are free
Who needs money, not me


Cash or credit, it doesn't matter
Long as my bank books keep growin' fatter
Easy street is my favourite avenue
Who needs money, I do


Just pity all those millionaires they never can relax
Bacause they're always worryin' about their income tax
Why waste time on high financin', I'd rather spend it on good romancin'
What if my pockets are empty as can be
Who needs money, not me
........ Tell me about it


Some folks save it, some folks lend it
But as for me I want to spend it
Give me some green and my skies will be blue
Who needs money, I do


Stocks and bonds, they only bore me
Interest holds no .... interest for me
Who wants to sit in the lap of luxury
Who needs money, not me


When I go to bed at night instead of counting sheep
I start counting dollar bills and then I fall asleep


Making money never thrills me
It's making love that really kills me
What can I lose with my philosophy
Who needs money, not me


What do you want


I want a big yacht, I can cruise in
The kind that girls just can't refuse in
All it takes is a million or two
Who needs money, I do


Any time some gal starts flirtin'
Now that I'm broke I know for certain
She really digs my personality
Tell me, who needs money not me


Poverty's the only thing that money cannot buy
So rich or poor it pays to have M-O-N-E-Y


A gal who's tender, that's what I love


It's legal tender, I want a pile of
Just let my liquid assets overflow


You can't take it with you when you go
So, who needs money


That lovely, lovely money


Who needs money, not me
