Lyrics
Verse 1
The balance of power has shifted a little closer to me
My station in life has lifted into prosperity!
I can?t believe my new confidence
A little solvency makes all the difference!
Chorus
I got the money! I got my 401K
I got the money! I got my IRA
I got muni bonds, and cash in the bank
And only myself to thank!
Chorus 1
Up in Aspen I bought a cozy retreat
I go skiing with the power elite
As we glide along, from hut to hut
I give a little seminar on what is what
Verse 2
I got into the market in nineteen eighty-eight
Bought Microsoft and Intel, their fundamentals looked great!
Sold everything in two thousand one
After the Dow had had a really good run!
Chorus + Chorus 2
Alan Greenspan called me once or twice
What he wanted was financial advice
He was worried ?bout the interest rates
So I hurried down to Washington to set him straight!
Bridge
The balance of power is funny, a roller coaster ride.
When you haven?t got any money, your power runs out like the tide!
Final Chorus
I got the money! I got my 401K
I got the money! I got my IRA
I got a money market stuffed with cash
I got some gems and bullion in my stash,
I got the money, I got the money!
