The Life (Original 1997 Broadway Cast)
Mr. Greed
I'm the kind of gambler
Whose luck is guaranteed
Thanks to my partner
Mr. Greed
He supplies the suckers
As many as I need
My silent partner Mr. Greed (greedy Mr. Greed)
Everybody wants to make a fast buck (lay your money down)
That is why I always take their last buck (best damn odds in town)
He's my handy helper (he's his handy helper)
He's my friend indeed
He's the most important (he's the most important)
Reason I succeed
I just pick the lettuce (he just picks the lettuce)
But guess who plants the seed
My trusty partner (his trusty partner)
Mr. Greed (Mr. Greed)
Oh, what a team
Oh, what a match
He makes 'em itch
I make 'em scratch
(Everybody wants a little something from nothing)
(Everybody wants a little something for free)
(Everybody wants a little piece of the action)
(Everybody's more than willing for a chance to make a killing)
(Whether it's a Monte game on 7th or Broadway)
(Whether it's on Wall Street where they go for a fling)
(Everybody wants a little something from nothing)
(It's all the same damn thing)
(Everybody wants a little)
(Mr. Greed is mighty busy)
(Busy, busy, busy, busy)
Oh, what a team
Oh, what a match
He makes 'em itch
I make 'em scratch
And we both agree
We love to see those suckers bleed
Me and my partner (him and his partner)
My trusty partner (his trusty partner)
Me and my partner (him and his partner)
A Mr. Greed
A Mr. greed
My Mr. Greed
Oh, Mr. Greed
Whose luck is guaranteed
Thanks to my partner
Mr. Greed
He supplies the suckers
As many as I need
My silent partner Mr. Greed (greedy Mr. Greed)
Everybody wants to make a fast buck (lay your money down)
That is why I always take their last buck (best damn odds in town)
He's my handy helper (he's his handy helper)
He's my friend indeed
He's the most important (he's the most important)
Reason I succeed
I just pick the lettuce (he just picks the lettuce)
But guess who plants the seed
My trusty partner (his trusty partner)
Mr. Greed (Mr. Greed)
Oh, what a team
Oh, what a match
He makes 'em itch
I make 'em scratch
(Everybody wants a little something from nothing)
