Lyrics
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of

I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question, do you want to be rich?

I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

You can tell I'm educated, I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics, I could have been a don
I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination, I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them, make or break them

I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of

Money

You can see I'm single-minded, I know what I could be
How d'you feel about it? Come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
Think about it seriously, you know, it makes sense

Let's (got the brains)
Make (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (money)
(Let's) you've got the brawn
(Make) I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (money)
I've got the brains (got the brains)
You've got the looks (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (money)
