Money for nothing #45

Dire Straits ·

Verse 1

[Gm7]Now look at them yo-yos,

that's the way you do it

[Gm7]You play the guitar on the MTV

[Gm7]That ain't working,

that's the way you do it

Money for nothing and your

chicks for [Gm7]free


Now that ain't working,

that's the way you do it

Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb

Maybe get a blister

on your little finger

Maybe get a blister on your thumb


Chorus:

We got to install microwave ovens

Custom kitchen deliveries

We got to move these refrigerators

We got to move these colour TVs


Verse 2

I should a learned to play the guitar

I should a learned to play them drums

Look at that mama,

she got it sticking in the camera

Man, we could have some

And he's up there, what's that?

Hawaiian noises?

He's banging on the bongos

like a chimpanzee

Oh, that ain't working,

that's the way you do it

Get your money for nothing,

get your chicks for free


Verse 3

Listen here

Now that ain't working,

that's the way you do it

You play the guitar on the MTV

That ain't working,

that's the way you do it

Money for nothing,

and your chicks for free

Money for nothing, chicks for free

Get your money for nothing,

chicks for free
