The Tubes

The Tubes are a San Francisco-based rock band, whose 1975 debut album included the hit single, "White Punks on Dope". During its first fifteen years or so, the band's live performances combined quasi-pornography with wild satires of media, consumerism, and politics.[citation needed] They are perhaps best-remembered for their 1983 single "She's a Beauty", a top 10 U.S. hit with a frequently-played music video in the early days of MTV and in the 1980 film Xanadu singing the rock portion of the cross-genre song "Dancin'" opposite a big band. more »

What good is money 
Unless it brings 
That certain something 
For the girl who's got everything 

Here is an item 
You can't pass by 
Won't even cost you 
One thin dime 

I won't give up 
Until you own me, 
Lock me up and throw away the key 
Precious possession, 

Your private property 
The price is right 

So won't you buy me 
For a song 
You can have me 
For a song 

Just for a minute 
Stand in my place 
You'll understand 
What I want you to say 

Give me a whisper 
Or give a shout 
Tune me in, I'll work it out 
I'll never break down 

I'm maintenance free 
And I come with a 
Lifetime guarantee 
You just can't pass up 

This opportunity 
Don't hesitate 

'Cause if you want me 
For a song 
You can have me 
For a song 

I belong to you--hand in hand together 
I belong to you--love into forever 
You're the only song I need 
So let your heart sing--sing for me 

If you're serious 
Then you can sample me 
I'm nearly yours 
But you know nothing comes for free 

You don't need money 
You have security 
I'm sure you got one 
Somewhere 

You can keep me 
For a song 
You can have me 
For a song
