Money For Nothing (Air Soundtrack) Lyrics

[Intro]
I want my MTV
Huh

[Verse 1]
Now look at them yo-yos, 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
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

[Post-Chorus]
Hoover mover
Uh

[Chorus]
Got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
He's got to move these refrigerators
Got to move these colour TVs
[Post-Chorus]
Lookie here, look out

[Verse 2]
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda 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

[Chorus]
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour TVs

[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

[Outro]
Money for nothing
And your chicks for free
Get your money for nothing (What's that?)
And your chicks for free (Look at that, look at that)
Get your money for nothing (I want my, I want my), bozos
Chicks for free (I want my MTV), ow
Get your money for nothing (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
