[Intro] Sweet James… Oh, Sweet James… You love that money more than anything. [Verse 1] Sweet James wakes up counting Before his feet hit the floor One eye on the dollar One eye looking for more Smile like Sunday morning Hands like Friday night If there’s a little money on the table James is gonna take a bite [Pre-Chorus] He says, “Baby, it ain’t greed I just know what I need” But every time the check comes down James suddenly can’t read [Chorus] Sweet James loves money Money, money, money Sweet James wants it all Even when it isn’t funny Dollar in his left hand Another in his right If money grew on trees James would water them all night [Post-Chorus — call & response] Sweet James! (How much you need?) Sweet James! (Everything!) Sweet James! (Leave some for me!) He just laughs— “We’ll see.” [Verse 2] He’ll buy himself the good stuff Tell you yours costs too much Champagne taste for James For everybody else—good luck He can smell a dollar coming From a hundred miles away Put a nickel on the sidewalk Watch that man change lanes [Pre-Chorus] He says, “Baby, money talks” James listens very well If a dollar had a phone number He’d call it just to tell— [Chorus] Sweet James loves money Money, money, money Sweet James wants it all Even when it isn’t funny Dollar in his left hand Another in his right If money grew on trees James would water them all night [Bridge — stripped to bass + percussion] Love is nice (But what it worth?) Kisses free (That’s even worse!) Heart of gold? (Can I sell it?) Sweet James— You are something else [Final Chorus — full groove] Sweet James loves money Money, money, money Pocket full and still somehow He thinks he’s running hungry Count it once Count it twice Count it every night Sweet James never met a dollar He didn’t want to make his [Outro] Sweet James… (Money, money) Oh, Sweet James… You can’t take it with you, baby.
