*Lyrics*

(I want my MTV)

Now look at them yo-yos thats the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and your chicks for free.

Now that aint workin thats the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys aint dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb.

We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.s.

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy thats his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, hes a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.s.

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 fun

And hes up there, whats that? Hawaiian noises?
You bangin on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh that aint workin thats the way you do it
Get your money for nothin get your chicks for free.

We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.s.

Listen here
Now that aint workin thats the way to do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and your chicks for free
Money for nothin and the chicks for free
(Get your) Money for nothin and chicks for free
Money for nothin and the chicks for free (I want my, I want my MTV)
Money for nothin and the chicks for free
