Money Money Money
Singers/The Showtime Orchestra and Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world





It's a rich man's world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Money Money Money" by ABBA, as performed by Singers/The Showtime Orchestra and Singers, tell the story of a working-class person who is struggling to make ends meet. Despite working day and night to pay the bills, there never seems to be any money left over for them. The singer dreams of finding a wealthy man who will provide them with financial security and allow them to live a life of leisure without having to work.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Money money money" and acknowledges the stark contrast between the rich and the poor. The rich seem to have an easy, carefree life while the poor are constantly struggling. The singer imagines all the things they could do if they had just a little bit of money, but the reality is that they don't have access to the opportunities that wealth provides.


The song is an indictment of the way that society is structured, with wealth and resources concentrated in the hands of a few. The vivid imagery of the luxurious lifestyles of the rich is contrasted with the bleak reality of the singer's life, highlighting the unfairness and inequality of the system.


Line by Line Meaning

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
I am constantly working day and night to pay off my bills


And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
Despite my hard work, I am not able to save any money for myself


In my dreams I have a plan, If I got me a wealthy man
I have a dream of marrying a wealthy man


I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...
If I married a wealthy man, I wouldn't have to work anymore and could enjoy my life


Money, money, money, Must be funny, In the rich man's world
Money is a fun and amusing thing in the world of the rich


Money, money, money, Always sunny, In the rich man's world
Money is always a pleasant thing in the world of the rich


All the things I could do, If I had a little money, It's a rich man's world
If I had some money, I could do many things and live in the world of the rich


A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
It's hard to find a wealthy man, but I still think about it all the time


And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
Even if a wealthy man were available, he probably wouldn't be interested in me


So I must leave, I'll have to go, To Las Vegas or Monaco
I might have to leave to go to Las Vegas or Monaco to try and win a fortune


And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
If I win a fortune in a game, my life will be changed forever


It's a rich man's world
This world belongs to the wealthy and it's all about money

I was talking with a friend about this song. I think giving this song to WxS was the best choice. This song is about thinking how you don't fit into the world, but everyone around you is happy to have you here with them...and the positivity from WxS is EXACTLY what this song needs! The only other group I could've seen this song being done by would've been MMJ! I legit started crying when I found out at work. My friend asked if I was okay and I was just saying how happy this song makes me, especially since it was one of the biggest songs to give me a mental boost during my big depressive episode a few years ago.

@starlightparades

you will be okay!! this random internet stranger loves you, remember that!

@kokorocrunch6615

I'm delighted to hear that vocaloid songs like these have helped you during your hardships and realizing you have friends. It's really good to have em.
Sorry for dumping this here but just saw your comment and trauma kicked in. Basically I didn't fit on anyone's circle and even if I cried inside the classroom no one would approach me not even my "friends." I'm quite new to project sekai so if a group would cover Moudoku ga osou which group would it be? It's prolly the song that I can relate mostly to.

@Goomations

I hope you’re doing good now!

@Inuyasha7543341

@Goomations  I'm doing much much better!
