Avenue Q - The Money Song
Nicky:
Help the homeless!
Help the homeless!
Ooh! Hey Princeton!
Give me a quarter!
Here in my hat!
Come on, Princeton!
ItÂs as easy as that!
Helping others brings you
Closer to God.
So give me a quarter...
Princeton:
I donÂt have any change.
Nicky:
Hmmm....okay.
Give me a dollar.
Princeton:
ThatÂs not what I meant.
Nicky:
Give me a five.
Princeton:
Are you kidding?
Nicky:
The more you give.
The more you get.
ThatÂs being alive!
All IÂm asking you
Is to do what
Jesus Christ would do.
HeÂd give me a quarter,
Why donÂt you?
Princeton:
All right, all right, here you go.
Nicky:
Ahh, thanks!
Princeton:
Take care.
Whoa!
Nicky:
WhatÂs the matter?
Princeton:
I feel generous!
I feel compassionate!
Nicky:
You do?
Princeton:
Yeah! I feel like a new person - a good person!
Helping other people out makes you feel fantastic!
Nicky:
ThatÂs what IÂve been trying to tell you-
Princeton:
All this time IÂve been running around thinking
about me, me, me - and where has it gotten me!
IÂm gonna do something for someone else!
Nicky:
Me?
Princeton:
No - Kate! IÂm going to raise the money to build that
stupid Monster School sheÂs always talking about!
Give me your money!
Nicky:
What?
Princeton:
I need it for Kate!
Nicky:
I need it to eat!
Princeton:
Come on, Nicky!
Nicky:
Aww, get lost!
Princeton:
ItÂll make you feel great!
Nicky:
So would a burger!
Princeton:
When her dream comes true,
ItÂll all be partly
Thanks to you
So give me your money!
Nicky:
IÂd like to, but I canÂt.
Princeton:
Give me your money!
Nicky:
IÂd like to, but I need it!
Princeton:
Give me your money!
Nicky:
IÂd like to, but IÂm homeless!
I canÂt! I need it! IÂm homeless!
I canÂt! I need it! IÂm homeless!
I canÂt! I need it! IÂm homeless!
Okay, here you go.
Princeton:
Thank you!
Nicky:
Suddenly,
I am feeling
Closer to God.
ItÂs time to stop begging
ItÂs time to start giving!
What can I give to Rod?
Something heÂll like so much heÂll take me back.
Ooh, I know! IÂll find him a boyfriend!
Princeton:
ThatÂs the spirit!
Both:
When you help others,
You canÂt help helping yourself!
When you help others,
You canÂt help helping yourself!
Gary Coleman:
Hey boys, whatÂs the hat for?
Nicky:
Ooh, weÂre collecting money!
Princeton:
ItÂs for Kate! WeÂre raising money to help build her dream school!
Give us your money!
Nicky:
YouÂll be glad that you did!
Gary Coleman:
ThatÂs just what my parents told me
When I was a kid.
Shit.
Nicky:
But giving feels so great...
Gary Coleman:
And I bet it wouldnÂt hurt
Your chances with Kate.
Princeton:
Well, that too.
Gary Coleman:
IÂll give you a dollar.
Princeton:
YouÂre a gentleman
And a scholar.
Christmas Eve:
We so happy! We just exchange all your wedding gifts for cash!
Brian:
Honey, donÂt tell THEM that!
Christmas Eve:
We get about 2,000 bucks!
Brian:
Uh, yeah, so - thanks, everybody!
Christmas Eve:
We rich!
Princeton:
Give us your money!
Nicky:
Give us your money!
Gary Coleman:
Give us your goddamn money!
Princeton:
Give us the dough!
Nicky/Gary Coleman
Give us the dough!
Princeton/Nicky/Gary Coleman
WeÂre raising money
For a Monster School
But weÂve got a ways to go.
Princeton:
Sounds like youÂve
Got money to burn
Nicky:
And itÂs not like money
That you had to earn.
Princeton/Nicky/Gary Coleman:
So give us your money -
Christmas Eve:
A monster school?
Brian:
Sounds like a good cause.
Christmas Eve:
Give me your wallet.
Princeton:
Oh my gosh! I donÂt know how to thank you guys.
I mean, Kate will be so grateful!
That kind of money is such a great start...
Gary Coleman:
Yeah, $15.
Princeton:
$15?
Christmas Eve:
Every little bit help.
Nicky:
Looks like weÂre gonna have to ask MORE people!
All:
Hey!
Give us your money!
All that youÂve got!
Just fork it on over...
Gary Coleman:
Or some puppets
Will get shot!
Princeton:
Hey!
All:
ItÂs time to pass the hat
Gary Coleman:
And thereÂs nothing you can do Âbout that
All:
So give us your money!
Give us your money!
Give us your money!
When you help others,
You canÂt help helping yourself!
When you help others,
You canÂt help helping yourself!
Every time you
Do good deeds
YouÂre also serving
Your own needs.
When you help others,
You canÂt help helping yourself!
When you give
To a worthy cause
YouÂll feel as jolly
As Santa Clause.
When you help others,
You canÂt
Help
Helping yourself!
Help the homeless!
Help the homeless!
