LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND, BUT MONEY GREASES THE WHEELS
(Howard Hausey)

Dee Mullins - 1964



Well, love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel
Yeah, love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel

You see a homely guy, he's got a pretty girl
Makes you wonder if they're really in love
Get a look at his bank book
You will see that it's all filled up

'Cause love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel
Yeah, love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel

Now, take that old maid, she lives by herself
With nothin' but houses and land
When all of a sudden she ups and gets married
To a big-eyed handsome man

'Cause love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel
Yeah, love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel

Take that old millionaire with one foot in the grave
And the other on a banana peel
But there's a pretty firl gonna give him a shove
Before he has time to change his will

'Cause love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel
Yeah, love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel

Now, you take that couple so much in love
They been together for twenty years
Then they struck oil and both bought cars
And now they're playin' the field

'Cause love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel
Yeah, love makes the world go 'round
But it's money that greases the wheel
