Lyrics

One two three four five
One two three four five
Zeros, preceded by a two
Preceded by a dollar sign
Is too, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Wonderful for words
Hello old friend
Hello, Mr. Money
You've been away so long
Pull up a chair, put up your feet
Hello old friend
We've missed you, Mister Money
So stick around
Don't leave us
Cause when you are here we eat!
Five zeros (Five zeros)
Preceded by a two (Preceded by a two)
Preceded by a dollar sign is
Too, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wonderful for words!
Five zeros, preceded by a two
Is just the merest bagatelle
There's so oh, oh, oh, oh, oh much more I can do
My newfound friend
Why what good is money?
Except to bring salvation
To this sorry vale of tears?
My newfound friend
I'll take your sacred money
And soon you'll share the glory
When the theatre bursts with cheers!
Hello old friend
Hello Mister Broadway
You ain't seen nothing yet
We're gonna tear the town apart
Hello old friend
We're bringing back to Broadway
An Oscar Jaffee classic that's commercial
Yet it's art!
Five zeros, preceded by a two (Five zeroes preceded by a two)
Preceded by a dollar sign is
Too oh, oh, oh, oh, oh wonderful for words!
