The Great Gatsby the Musical - New Money Lyrics
Performed by Samantha Pauly.
JORDAN:
When your money makes you money
What’s the well-to-do to do?
But buy another pony
With the interest they accrue
While right across the bay
They’re making fortunes on the go
Over there the rich are riche
And the money is nouveau
Oh the nouveau riche are reaching
For the scepter of the kings
And somewhere high above us
You’ve got gatsby pulling strings
Faster and faster no slowing them down
Lucky boy, you got the hottest ticket in town
A whole new ruling party
And your neighbor wears the crown
JORDAN & GUESTS:
New money
Young rich and wild
Reveled, reviled
You can’t stop that
New money
Filling your pocket
Spend it while you got it
Heavens knows if it will last
Watch it as it goes
Watch it as it go go goes
Ba da bah bah bah
In west egg there’s no nest egg
No need to sit and brood
On piles of cash
They spend their stash
At a shocking magnitude
The kind of wealth you got to see to believe
A level of luxury that’s hard to achieve
I don’t want to live here
But I never want to leave
New money
Young rich and wild
Reveled, reviled
Don’t you want that
New money
Filling your pocket
Spend it while you got it
Heavens knows if it will last
Everything top shelf
Can only top itself
Ba dah bah bah bah
New money
WOLFSHEIM: (spoken)
High roller coming through!
ENSEMBLE:
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
WOLFSHEIM & GAMBLERS:
New money
When it’s scanty
New money
Up the ante
Ooh ooh
Butter me honey
Tonight I’m on a roll
GAMBLERS:
Tonight I’m on a roll
JORDAN: (spoken)
Wolfsheim!
WOLFSHEIM: (spoken)
Heya, kitten! Wanna blow on my dice?
JORDAN: (spoken)
You kidding? I wanna throw ‘em!
WOLFSHEIM:
New Money
JORDAN:
Lucky Sevens
WOLFSHEIM & PARTYGOERS:
New manna
From the heavens
WOLFSHEIM & JORDAN:
Ooh ooh butter me honey
Tonight I’m on a roll
WOLFSHEIM: (spoken)
Who’s the school teacher?
JORDAN: (spoken)
This is Nick Carraway
WOLFSHEIM: (spoken)
I see you looking at my cuff buttons.
Finest specimens of human molars!
NICK: (spoken)
Who was that?
JORDAN: (spoken)
Meyer Wolfsheim.
He fixed the World Series.
You can meet anyone at these parties!
NICK:
So where do we find gatsby?
Can you point him out to me?
JORDAN:
I’ve never even met him
The man’s a mystery
Ev’ry night it seems his notoriety grows
I wonder if he’s even at the parties he throws
I think that it’s dandy
That he keeps the brandy handy
But his modus operandi
No one really knows!
ENSEMBLE:
Well, I heard gatsby owns the patent for the model T
I heard he’s a spy
I heard he won this place in a horse race
I heard he killed a man
(Gasp) oh
He’s selling bathtub gin
He’s prussian royalty
NICK:
Stock market?
ELEGANT LADY:
He’s flooded
JORDAN:
Red carpet?
SHOWGIRL 2:
Star-studded
NICK:
Black market?
ENSEMBLE:
Cold-blooded
Do you want to dance?
Whoo!
My baby only wants new money
NICK: (spoken)
Do you believe that about Mr. Gatsby?
JORDAN: (spoken)
What?
SHOWGIRLS:
The kind that washes out clean
NICK: (spoken)
That he killed a man. Wouldn't he be in jail?
GUESTS:
My baby has a taste for new money
JORDAN: (spoken)
Not if he didn't get caught.
GUESTS:
She likes her legal tender tender and lean
NICK: (spoken)
What kind of—
JORDAN: (spoken)
Geez.
NICK: (spoken)
What kind of person throws large parties
That he doesn’t attend?
JORDAN: (spoken)
A person who likes large parties.
I like large parties. They’re so intimate.
At small parties there isn’t any privacy.
JORDAN & GUESTS:
New money
Young rich and wild
Reveled, reviled
Don’t you want that
New money
Filling your pocket
Spend it while you got it
Heavens knows if it will last
Boats against the current
Push against the tide
We ride we ride we ride we ride we ride
JORDAN:
I want that new money
Crisp money
Straight from the mint money
Fresh money young money
Push against the tide
We ride we ride
Don’t want that old money
Bling money
Comes with strings money
Cold money, funny money
Push against the tide
We ride we ride we ride we ride oh!
