MOOLAH REY (Joey Molland)

So, you think that you got it made?
Well, I don't understand
What you're doing already, Miss
Is it part of your plan?

You might have a lot of things to say
But there's something standing in your way
It's Moolah Rey

Take it easy and wait awhile
Check it out from the top
Seeing something else going on
Jumping out of the shlock

Now, there's nothing standing in your way
But she'll get you in another day
It's Moolah Rey
Moolah Rey

It's only money
It's only bills
It's only money
But for this, you might kill

[sax solo]

Moolah Rey

Now, you've made it, you're gonna hide
From the person that was
Holding hands with your Easter bride
Get a case for your cross

Now, there's nothing standing in your way
But she'll get you in another day
It's Moolah Rey
Moolah Rey [repeat & fade]
