All About The Green Lyrics & Chords By Richard H. Blake

There's a big, shiny future you've been dying to buy
Better start power lunching in your power tie
You can't wait for fate to somehow intervene
If you wanna be somebody
It's all about the green
I'm sure it's a little more complicated...
It's all about the green
Some may say you're headed down a crooked trail
But if you sell your soul at least you've made a sale
You could end world hunger or create a vaccine
But if you wanna be somebody
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the big bucks, fat checks, midnight flights to LAX
Slush Funds, high fives
Trading stocks and trading wives
C notes, half G's
Buying out the Japanese
Land deals down in Bocca
Doing drinks with Lacocca
Yeah, it's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the green
Hey, Gulia, I just got back from Seattle.
There's a coffee store there that's thinking of going national.
Did you get my memo on that?
No one's ever gonna pay 3 bucks for a cup of coffee!
Now bring me some real tips!
I got something - my brother-in-law works for Coca-Cola.
They're changing their formula - gonna sell it as "New Coke".
New Coke - that's brilliant!
Buy all the Coca-Cola stock you can get your hands on!
See, Robbie...
It's all about the green!
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the big rolls, legal tenders, stripper's screaming
"Hey, big spender!"
Cut throat, firm expansion, regroup at the playboy mansion
Blue chips, pink slips
Foreign beers and ego trips
Bank boards, gettin' antsy
Jellybeans from Ron and Nancy
Yeah, it's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the -
Corporate hacks like stabbing backs
And twisting arms real slow
But you only holler, "Uncle" if your uncle is the C.E.O.!
Yeah, it's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the quick deal, liquidation
S&L deregulation
Grand slam, strong gainer
Dershowitz, on retainer
Output, income
Skimming off a tidy sum
Reaganomics, quid pro quo
The G.O.P. is S.R.O.!
Yeah, it's all about the green
Wanna be somebody?
It's all about the
It's all about the pay dirt, shuck and jive
Five to nine, not nine to five!
Kick backs, payola inside tips on pepsi-cola
Nasdaq, dow jones, worshipping the milken clones
Old cigars, new camara, yo quiero, more dinero
It's all about the green
I wanna be somebody
It's all about the green
I wanna be somebody
It's all about the green
I wanna be somebody
Wanna be somebody
It's all about the green
Wanna be somebody
It's all about the
All about the green!
