Rufus Wainwright - Money Song lyrics

If I should ever run into a lot of money
Tell me would I move to New York City?
If I had an apartment with
A view of that city
Tell me would I see the stars above me?

If I had a room at the top of
The Waldorf Astoria
Tell me would I still love ya?
If I was blinded by
The sun through French windows
Would I watch your pose before them?

The Queen strolls down her hall
Missing the Rubens
Her shoes sound soft on the
Long rug from Yemen
She is plainly dressed excluding
The diamond ring
Brought back from a long trip to Thailand

And rumor has it that she
Would rather be a farmer
Elizabeth would you toss off the tiara?
No more Balmoral no more Kentucky Derby
Now, mutts instead of Corgis my love
Since I'll never have the chance to
Become the king of country and common wealth
My love if your heart was made of gold
Would I pluck it out and melt it down
And be an American and weld a crown?

A song like this today can sound pretty silly
The timings off
The setting's set in simplicity
Today I'm nice
And today I'm not very wealthy
Don't underestimate money my love
My love my love
