Gm7                                                  C

Gm7                        A#  C
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
Gm7
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
                        F         Gm7
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

Now that ain't workin', 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:
D#                A#
We gotta install microwave ovens
D#               F
Custom kitchen deliveries
Gm7
We gotta move these refrigerators
C                    D      E
We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup?
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire

Chorus:
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TVs
Hoover mover, uh
Gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
He's gotta move these refrigerators
Got to move these color TVs
Looky here, look out

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man, we could have some
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
He's bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin', 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 color TVs

Listen here
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin'
That's the way you do it
Money for nothin', and your chicks for free

Money for nothin', chicks for free
(Get your) Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Ow, Money for nothin', yeah
And the chicks for free
What's that?
Get your money for nothin', chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
Get your money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Bozos
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
(Get your) Money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Ah, money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Easy, easy money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Easy, easy, chicks for free (I want my MTV)
Easy, easy money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)
Chicks for free (I want my MTV)
That ain't workin'

Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
