Monei

I wanted a mansion in Carrasco
But I only got a little ranch in Casabó
I wanted to ride in a Mercedes Benz
And now I only ride a 126

I'm a dupe, old man, and they'll always know it
As that old saying goes
He who is born a monkey Chita never becomes Tarzan

I want money money money
I want money money money
I want money money money

I wanted to sunbathe in the Caribbean
And for now I only surf at Ramirez beach
I wanted to go to the jet set parties
But it was to the Coco dances that I went the most

I am denied old, and they have no heart
As in the parable of Rodó
He who is born in a latrine never reaches a toilet

I want money money money
I want money money money
I want money money money

I wanted to dress in Christian Dior
And not this moth-eaten diver that my grandmother knitted for me
I wanted to eat caviar and pheasant
And not to remove the parsley from a chorizo sandwich from my teeth

I am denied old man, and they have no compassion
As that old song said
He who is born a little pill never becomes a sausage

I want money money money
I want money money money
I want money money money
