Once a friend is always a friend
It's not always true
Money makes the difference as to what people say or do
People I've known for years
That's always been the same
When they get a good job, they up and change their name

People get funny when they get a little money every time 
People get funny when they get a little money every time 

People are the same wherever you go
You can be very good friends, when you both have no dough
Friends talk on the telephone about everybody in town
When one friend loses his job, the other one puts him down

People get funny when they get a little money every time 
People get funny when they get a little money every time 

People will fight for a cause when it's to their advantage
When they get a little more money, their cause begins to vanish
When things are bad, people tend to stay real mad
When things are good, they want to change their neighborhood

People get funny when they get a little money every time 
People get funny when they get a little money every time 

People get a position, they never return your call
They see you and won't speak when walking down the hall
They join a social club, which is the latest trend
Then get a brand-new car and you never see them again

People get funny when they get a little money every time 
People get funny when they get a little money every time 

I'm no different than you
Everybody knows they want money too
When I get some money, I'm gonna act a fool
Buy me a great big car and cruise around the school
