We're In the Money 


Excerpt:
We're in the money,
We're in the money;
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
We're in the money,
The sky is sunny;
Old Man Depression, you are through,
You done us wrong!

Cabaret 1972



Money
 
Excerpt:
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around,
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round.

Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey

Money, Money, Money

Excerpt:
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

Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, Amanda Seyfried
