I've got the brains you've got the looks Let's make lots of money You've got the brawn I've got the brains Let's make lots of money I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks my car is parked outside I'm afraid it doesn't work I'm looking for a partner someone who gets things fixed Ask yourself this question do you want to be rich. I've got the brains you've got the looks Let's make lots of money You've got the brawn I've got the brains Let's make lots of money You can tell I'm educated I studied at the Sorbonne Doctored in mathematics I could have been a don I can programme a computer choose the perfect time If you've got the inclination I have the crime. I've got the brains you've got the looks Let's make lots of money You've got the brawn I've got the brains Let's make lots of money Oh if you know when to take them you know There's a lot of opportunities if there aren't you can make them make or break them. You can see I'm single-minded I know what I could be How'd you feel about it come take a walk with me I'm looking for a partner regardless of expense Think about it seriously you know it makes sense. I've got the brains you've got the looks Let's make lots of money You've got the brawn I've got the brains Let's make lots of money Oh if you know when to take them you know There's a lot of opportunities if there aren't you can make them make or break them. I've got the brains you've got the looks Let's make lots of money You've got the brawn I've got the brains Let's make lots of money
