Money for Nothing Songtext
von Dire Straits

I want my MTV

Now look at them yo-yos, 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

Now that ain′t workin′, that's the way you do it
Let me tell ya, them guys ain′t dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Baby, get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We've got to move these refrigerators
We′ve got to move these colour TVs

Hoover mover
Huh

Got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We've got to move these refrigerators
We′ve got to move these colour TVs (look a-here, look at him)


I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she come in stickin' in the camera
Man, we could have some fun

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

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We′ve got to move these refrigerators
We've got to move these colour 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 nothing, yeah
And the chicks for free
Get your money for nothing (what's that?)
And the chicks for free, look at that, look at that


Get your money for nothing (I want my, I want my)
And the chicks for free (Bozos, I want my MTV)
Ah, get your money for nothing (I want my, I want my)
And the chicks for free (I want my MTV)
