Lyrics

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brains
Let's make lots of

I've had enough of scheming
and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner
someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question:
Do you want to be rich?

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

You can tell I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination
I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
if you know when to take them
You know, there's a lot of opportunities
if there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them (Make or break them)

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of
money

You can see I'm single-minded
I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it
Come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner
regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense

Let's (Got the brains)
make (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
(Let's) You've got the brawn
(make) I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
I've got the brains (Got the brains)
You've got the looks (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
You've got the brawn (got the brawn)
I've got the brains (got the brains)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
Money!

All the love that we had
and the love that we hide
Who will bury us
when we die?
