Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV

Now look at them yo-yo's, 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
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't 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 colour TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's
(Move-a, move-a... uh)

(We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries)
We gotta move these refrigerators
(We gotta move these colour TV's)
Look here, look here

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
Oh, man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
He's bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

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 nothin', chicks for free
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free (Ow, yeah)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (What's that?)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (Look at that, look at that)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV) (Bozos)
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Ow, money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
(Easy easy money) money for nothin', (Easy easy chicks) chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
(Easy easy) money for nothin', your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
(That ain't workin')

Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin'
