Yeah!
Tailored suits, chauffeured cars
Fine hotels and big cigars
Up for grabs, all for a price
Where the red hot girls keep on dancing through the night
The claim is on you, the sights are on me
So what do you do that’s guaranteed?
Hey, little girl, you want it all
The furs, the diamonds, the paintings on the wall
Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the money talk
Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money
Come on, come on, listen to the money talk
A French maid, foreign chef
A big house with king-size beds
You had enough, you ship them out
The dollar’s up, down, you better buy the Pound
The claim is on you, the sights are on me
So what do you do that’s guaranteed?
Hey, little girl, you break the laws
You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all
Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money (Moneytalks)
Come on, come on, listen to the money talk (Moneytalks)
Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money (Moneytalks)
Come on, come on, listen to the money talk
Moneytalks
Yeah-yow!
Moneytalks
B.S. walks
Moneytalks
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money (Moneytalks)
Come on, come on, listen to the money talk (Moneytalks)
Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money (Moneytalks)
Come on, come on, listen to the money talk (Moneytalks)
(Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money) Moneytalks
(Come on, come on, listen to the money talk) Money talk, talk, talk
(Come on, come on, lovin’ for the money) Oh, hear it talk
(Come on, come on, listen to the money talk) Yeah, yeah-yeah!
Money talk!
Exploring the Power of Wealth in “Moneytalks”
“Moneytalks” by AC/DC is a dynamic anthem centered on the undeniable influence of money in society. Through vivid imagery of luxury—tailored suits, fine hotels, and glamorous women—the song paints a world where everything is up for grabs, but always at a price. The recurring invitation to “listen to the money talk” highlights how financial power drives relationships, ambitions, and moral choices. The lyrics cleverly juxtapose a life of opulence with its underlying superficiality, suggesting that love and loyalty are often swayed by wealth. The playful yet biting refrain, “Moneytalks, B.S. walks,” captures the band’s unfiltered perspective on the reality of materialism.
