Million Dollar Riff

(album: Straight In A Gay Gay World - 1976)

Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff

Well, there's a thousand guitars all over the land
And a thousand drummers and a thousand bands
And a thousand agents with their ears to the ground (Gimme Gimme)
They're all looking for the riff with the million dollar sound

(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) Going round and round
(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) With a solid gold sound

It might take three notes it might take four (Oh yeah)
Or something that sounds like a squeaky door (Oh yeah)
And you could be riding in a limousine, oh yeah
And have your face in every magazine

(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) Going round and round
(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) With a solid gold sound
(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff)
It's going round and round and round and round (Million dollar riff)
(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) We gotta get that sound
Meanwhile I was still searching

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Million dollar riff (Million dollar million dollar million dollar...)
Million dollar riff

Well, I worked it out before I went to bed
But in the morning' it went clean outta my head
It's like winning Tatts but losing the ticket
Cause you know the tune but you just can't pick it

(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) It's going round and round
(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff) With a solid gold sound
(Million dollar riff, million dollar riff)
I gotta keep on searching till I find that sound (Million dollar riff)
(Million dollar riff
Million dollar riff)
I won't stop until the sound is found (Million dollar riff)
(Million dollar riff)

I gotta keep searching searching searching
I gotta keep searching searching searching
I gotta keep searching searching searching
I gotta keep searching searching searching

Cos I want money (M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-Money) Money
(That's what I want) Ooh yeah!
(Gimme gimme dirty ol' money) Gimme the money!
(That's what I want)
Cause I want a million (More!)
I want a billion (More!)
I want a trillion (More!)
I want it all! (Yeah...)
