The quotation ‘money makes the world go round’ was first used in a musical play ‘ Cabaret’, it was written in the 1960’s. You have listened to the song in the listening assignment.
The play was a melancholy one, in one of the songs the female lead expresses her wish for love, the male protagonist replies with this line in the song.
