In the Name of the Money

The sun rises after midnight

Big dreamers never sleep

She takes a slow walk in the red light

Wishin' on the stars in concrete

Jet black roots under alabaster hair

Betty Grable legs gonna get her somewhere

She's runnin' every light on the road to recognition

Under one condition

In the name of money

In the name of fame

Anything goes when you play that game

In the name of money

In the name of fame

You gotta stick it out if you want to stake your claim

So some hotshot in a rag top

Gets her on the silver screen

One hundred mirrors far a backdrop

Oh, but her face was never seen

Agents of love, devils in disguise

They're blowin' smoke in the little girl's eyes

She'll sign the dotted line and fall into submission

Under one condition

In the name of money

In the name of fame

Anything goes when you play that game

In the name of money

In the name of fame

You gotta stick it out if you want to stake your claim

Someday she'll be a leading lady

In a baby blue Mercedes

When she's rich and famous

Her scandals will entertain us

(The badder, the better)

Jet black roots under alabaster hair

Betty Grable legs gonna get her somewhere

She's runnin' every light on the road to recognition

Under one condition

In the name of money

In the name of fame

Anything goes when you play that game

In the name of money

In the name of fame

You gotta stick it out if you want to stake your claim

In the name of money...

In the name of fame...
