So, you want to be rich, and you want to prosper,
You had wisdom but the tail, but I think you've lost her,
Call it sincere, call it consistent,
Call it whatever you want; I call it twisted.

So, you wanna be rich'
A man on the rise,
High on the hog,
Healthy, wealthy and wise.

A search for power you'll never find,
Manipulate truth with a limited mind,
Compassion is not what you're after,
Tickle their ears and thrive on their laughter.]

So, you wanna be rich'
A man on the rise,
High on the hog,
Healthy, wealthy and wise.

The love of money built your steeple,
It towers in the sky, out of reach of the people,
So, enjoy what you've gained, 'cause you won't have it long,
Won't stand the test of fire, and you sure can't take it along.

So, you wanna be rich'
A man on the rise,
High on the hog,
Healthy, wealthy and wise.
