10cc - The Wall Street Shuffle Lyrics

Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the Sterling crumble

You need a Yen to make a Mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be Getty Rothschild

You've gotta be cool on Wall Street
You've gotta be cool on Wall Street
When your index is low
Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums

They wind up on skid row
With holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy
Can you spare the dime
But you ain't got the time
Doin' the, doin' the

Oh, Howard Hughes
Did your money make you better
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me

'Cos you're big enough
To do the Wall Street Shuffle
Let your money hustle
Bet you'd sell your mother
You can buy another
Doin' the, doin' the

You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But you're living on instinct
You get a tip, you follow it
And you make a big killing
On Wall Street
