Song written by Alex Kramer and Joan Whitney, recorded by The Andrew Sisters in 1946.

La la la
Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Won’t contaminate myself with it
Take it away, take it away, take it away

If a woman calls a man honey
And it’s on account of his money
Honey and money will soon be gone
Take it away, take it away, take it away

I got the one I love
I got the moon and stars above
I got my youth and health
What do I want with wealth? Hm?

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Won’t contaminate myself with it
Take it away, take it away, take it away

La la la

Haven’t got a cent but don’t worry
Haven’t got a job but no hurry
I would answer if they gave me gold
Take it away, take it away, take it away

Got a loaf of bread and wine, baby
And the right to call you mine, baby
All your money I don’t care of it
Take it away, take it away, take it away

I got the one I love
I got the moon & stars above
I got my youth & my health
What do I want with wealth?

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Won’t contaminate myself with it
Take it away, take it away, take it away, take it away
Take it away, take it away, take it away, take it away
