I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV

Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's
(Move-a, move-a... uh)

(We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries)
We gotta move these refrigerators
(We gotta move these color TV's)
Look here, look here

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Oh, man we could have some fun

And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
He's bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's

Listen here
Now, that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Money for nothin', chicks for free
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free

Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free (Ow, yeah)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (What's that?)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (Look at that, look at that)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV) (Bozos)

Money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Ow, money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)

(Easy easy money) money for nothin', (Easy easy chicks) chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
(Easy easy) money for nothin', your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
(That ain't workin')

Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin'

Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler (born 12 August 1949) is a British songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He led the rock band Dire Straits, which he co-founded with his brother David in 1977. Since 1995, he’s enjoyed great success as a solo artist, releasing nine solo albums.

Knopfler is a fingerstyle guitarist, and well-respected in musical circles, both for his playing and for his songwriting. He has a knack for writing new songs that sound ancient, and his dry baritone is addictive. He continues to record and perform today. His newest album is scheduled for release in 2015.
