The Life: Mr. Greed

5 views

Lyrics

I'm the kind of gambler
 Whose luck is guaranteed
 Thanks to my partner
 Mr. Greed
 He supplies the suckers
 As many as I need
 My silent partner Mr. Greed (greedy Mr. Greed)
 Everybody wants to make a fast buck (lay your money down)
 That is why I always take their last buck (best damn odds in town)
 He's my handy helper (he's his handy helper)
 He's my friend indeed
 He's the most important (he's the most important)
 Reason I succeed
 I just pick the lettuce (he just picks the lettuce)
 But guess who plants the seed
 My trusty partner (his trusty partner)
 Mr. Greed (Mr. Greed)
 Oh, what a team
 Oh, what a match
 He makes 'em itch
 I make 'em scratch
 (Everybody wants a little something from nothing)
 (Everybody wants a little something for free)
 (Everybody wants a little piece of the action)
 (Everybody's more than willing for a chance to make a killing)
 (Whether it's a Monte game on 7th or Broadway)
 (Whether it's on Wall Street where they go for a fling)
 (Everybody wants a little something from nothing)
 (It's all the same damn thing)
 (Everybody wants a little)
 (Mr. Greed is mighty busy)
 (Busy, busy, busy, busy)
 Oh, what a team
 Oh, what a match
 He makes 'em itch
 I make 'em scratch
 ♪
 And we both agree
 We love to see those suckers bleed
 Me and my partner (him and his partner)
 My trusty partner (his trusty partner)
 Me and my partner (him and his partner)
 A Mr. Greed
 A Mr. greed
 My Mr. Greed
 Oh, Mr. Greed
