Moneytalks – AC/DC

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.
