Rufus Wainwright - The Money Song lyrics

If I should ever run into a lot of money

Tell me would I move to New York City?

If I had an apartment with a view of that city,

Tell me would I see the stars above me?

If I had a room at the top of the Waldorf Astoria

Tell me would I still love ya?

If I was blinded by,

The sun through French windows

Would I watch your pose before them?

The Queen strolls down her hall

Missing the Rubens

Her shoes sound soft on the long rug from Yemen

She is plainly dressed excluding the diamond ring

Brought back from a long trip to Thailand

And rumor has it that she would rather be a farmer

Elizabeth would you toss off the tiara?

No more Balmora

No more Kentucky Derby

Now, mutts instead of Corgis

My love

Since I'll never have the chance to become the king of country

And common wealth

My love

If your heart was made of gold

Would I pluck it out

And melt it down

And be an American

And weld a crown?

A song like this today can sound pretty silly

The timings off

The set it set in simplicity

Today I'm nice

And today I'm not very wealthy

Don't underestimate money

My love

My love

My love
