Where can I find the lyrics to "The Money Song" from Cabaret (BROADWAY)?
Lyrics websites confuse "The Money Song" from the Broadway play (which begins, "My father needs money, my uncle needs money ....") with "Money Money" from the movie (which begins "Money makes the world go around ..." and contains a lot of repetitions of the word "money."). The movie version is everywhere, even on sites which are supposed to be giving the lyrics to the broadway show, but the actual stage show version is hard to locate. I've tried using lines from the song, the title, etc. and get nothing but "Money,Money," which is the wrong one.
NO! The one that starts "Money Makes the World Go Around" is the wrong one!!! It's out there everywhere!!

I used to have that album. I can't quite remember the songwriters' names, but I'd look THEM up. They are sure to have a site somewhere with their lyrics.

My father needs money my uncle needs money my mother is thin as a reed
But me I'm sitting pretty
I've got all the money I need
My dearest friend Fritzy is out of his wits
He has four starving children to feed
But me I'm sitting pretty
I've got all the money I need
I know my little cousin Eric has his creditors hysterical
Also cousin Herman had to pawn his mother's ermine
And my sister and my brother took to hocking one another too
But I've got some talents which
Build up my balance so even my banker's agreed
That me I'm sitting pretty
I've got all the money I need
I know my little cousin Eric has his creditors hysterical
Also cousin Herman had to pawn his mother's ermine
And my sister and my brother took to hocking one another too
But I'm not a nincompoop
I've got an income you put in the bank to accrue
Yes me I'm sitting pretty life is pretty sitting with
Pretty sitting with pretty sitting with you

I'm sure I have, but never at one. In fact, I have never been to a Broadway show. I think they are so boring that I won't even go to one.

Is this it...?
Money makes the world go around,
the world go around, the world go around,
Money makes the world go around,
it makes the world go round.
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
a buck or a pound, a buck or a pound,
Is all that makes the world go around,
that clinking clanking sound,
Can make the world go round.
If you happen to be rich, and you feel like a night's entertainment,
You can pay for a gay escapade.
If you happen to be rich, and alone and you need a companion,
You can ring ting-a-ling for the maid.
If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your lover,
Tho you moan and you groan quite a lot,
You can take it on the chin,
call a cab and begin to recover on your fourteen carat yacht.
Money makes the world go around,
the world go around, the world go around,
Money makes the world go around,
of that we both are sure.
(Raspberry) On being poor.
When you haven't any coal in the stove and you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate.
When you haven't any shoes on your feet and your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds underweight,
When you go to get a word of advice from the fat little pastor,
he will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes to rap, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, at the window
See how love flies out the door.
For money makes the world go around, the world go around,
the world go around.
Money makes the world go around,
the clinking, clanking sound
of Money, money, money, money,
Money, money, money, money,
Get a little, get a little,
Money, money, money, money,
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
That clinking, clanking clunking sound
is all that makes the world go round,
It makes the world go round.
