[Verse]
Eb                     Ab7
 I'm on the right track for lots of kissin'
Eb                     Bb7
 So that old greenback, I won't be missin'
Ab                Eb                 C7
 All the greatest things in life are free
Fm         Bb         Eb
 Who needs money, not me


[Verse]
Eb              Ab7
 Cash or credit, it doesn't matter
Eb                    Bb7
 Long as my bank books keep growin' fatter
Ab                 Eb          C7
 Easy street is my favorite avenue
Fm         Bb       Eb
 Who needs money, I do


[Bridge]
     G                                C
Just pity all those millionaires they never can relax
  F                              Bb
Because they're always worryin' about their income tax


[Verse]
Eb                Ab7
 Why waste time on high financin'
Eb                  Bb7
 I'd rather spend it on good romancin'
Ab                      Eb           C7
 What if my pockets are empty as can be
Fm         Bb         Eb  |  Eb  |  B  |  B  |
 Who needs money, not me   (break)      (break) Tell me about it


[Verse]
E                   A7
 Some folks save it, some folks lend it
E             B7
 But as for me I wanna spend it
A                          E             C#7
 Give me some green and my skies will be blue
F#m        B        E
 Who needs money, I do


[Verse]
E                 A7
 Stocks and bonds, they only bore me
E                 B7
 Interest holds no interest for me
A                        E        C#7
 Who wants to sit in the lap of luxury
F#m        B        E
 Who needs money, not me


[Bridge]
G                           C
When I go to bed at night instead of counting sheep
F                                 Bb
I start counting dollar bills and then I fall asleep


[Verse]
E             A7
 Making money never thrills me
E                B7
 It's making love that really kills me
A                     E         C#7
 What can I lose with my philosophy
F#m        B          E    |  E  |  C  |  C  |
 Who needs money, not me   (break)      (break) What do you want?


[Verse]
F                   Bb7
 I want a big yacht, I can cruise in
F                        C7
 The kind that girls just can't refuse in
Bb                 F          D7
 All it takes is a million or two
Gm         C        F
 Who needs money, I do


[Verse]
F             Bb7
 Any time some gal starts flirtin'
F                  C7
 Now that I'm broke I know for certain
Bb                  F        D7
 She really digs my personality
        Gm        C        F
Tell me, who needs money not me


[Bridge]
A                             D
Poverty's the only thing that money cannot buy
   G               G            C
So rich or poor it pays to have M-O-N-E-Y

[Verse]
F                   Bb7
 A gal who's tender, that's what I love
F                  C7
 It's legal tender, I want a pile of
Bb                  F          D7
 Just let my liquid assets overflow
Gm                C                 F
You can't take it with you when you go


[Coda]
   Gm         C
So, who needs money
     Gm             C
That lovely, lovely money

Who needs money, not me                                  (ending)
