Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
[Poppy]
When I was a little girl
I used to think I was wrong
For wanting diamonds and pearls
I never had anything
No Chanel or Tiffany
Like all the popular girls
[Pre Chorus]
They say the best things are free
But I don't get what they mean
'Cause I want everything
And money doesn't grow on trees
You can't just plant a seed
You gotta work it out
[Melanie]
I know my ABC's, yet you keep teaching me
I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy
You think your smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy
[Chorus]
[Poppy]
Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous
Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?
[Verse 2]
When I was only 15,
I packed my bags and I said
Goodbye to mom and dad
I was afraid and alone,
Living without a home
Got rid of all I had
[Pre Chorus]
They say the best things are free,
But I can't get what I need
Without some currency
And money doesn't grow on trees
You can't just plant a seed
You gotta work it out
[Melanie]
I know my ABC's, yet you keep teaching me
I say fuck your degree, alphabet boy
You think your smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy
[Chorus]
[Poppy]
Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?
Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?
[Bridge]
[Melanie]
Alphabet boy
Oh alphabet boy
My alphabet boy
( repeated )
[Poppy]
Make that money, make my own money
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?
[Chorus]
[Poppy]
Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fucking fabulous
Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?
Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fucking fabulous?
