Now listen again and put the song lines in order.
Get a good job with more pay and you're OK
Money, get away
Think I'll buy me a football team
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
Money, it's a gas
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
Money, get back
And I think I need a Lear jet
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away
Is the root of all evil today
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, it's a crime
Money, so they say
One of the last lines is ‘money is the root of all evil’.
