How to Be a Millionaire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell you the truth, sir, someone just bought it
Say Mr. Whispers, here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjack, build us a paradise
Larger than life and twice as ugly
If we have to live there, you'll have to drug me
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the cards you were dealt
At the hands of fate (so tell me)
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire
[Verse 2]
Hardly surprising if you might consider
Loyalties go to the highest of bidders
Want my opinion? I'd give you ten to one
Give me a million, a franchise on fun
But there are millions who often get nowhere
And there's just one secret I think you should share
I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell you the truth, sir, someone just bought it
Say Mr. Whispers, here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjack, build us a paradise
Larger than life and twice as ugly
If we have to live there, you'll have to drug me
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the cards you were dealt
At the hands of fate (so tell me)
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire
[Verse 2]
Hardly surprising if you might consider
Loyalties go to the highest of bidders
Want my opinion? I'd give you ten to one
Give me a million, a franchise on fun
But there are millions who often get nowhere
And there's just one secret I think you should share
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the cards you were dealt
At the hands of fate (so tell me)
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Millionaire, billionaire, zillionaire
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate (come on, come on)
For all the cards you were dealt, babe
At the hands of fate (so tell me)
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
[Outro]
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I do! I don't! I do!
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I do! I don't!
I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the cards you were dealt
At the hands of fate (so tell me)
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Millionaire, billionaire, zillionaire
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate (come on, come on)
For all the cards you were dealt, babe
At the hands of fate (so tell me)
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
Tell me, tell me
How to be (how to be) a millionaire
[Outro]
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I do! I don't! I do!
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I do! I don't!
I've seen the future, I can't afford it
