Alice Cooper could put on show, especially to a kid in high school in 1976. ;)
He’s a scratch golfer and a huge baseball fan too.
Diamond on your Mind – Tom Waits (Lyrics)
I shook the hand of the president and the pope in Rome
I've been to parties where I've had to be flown
They told me everything was sacred, nothing is profane
And money is something that you throw off of the back of a train
An updated version for the 1960's:
Juke Box Saturday Night--Nino & the Ebb Tides (1961)
The Modernaires also recorded "New Juke Box Saturday Night" in 1953, but I couldn't find a decent version of this on Youtube.

A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
He'd sing another chorus but he hasn't got the time
Money can’t buy love but it can buy a reasonable facsimile.
Bling Bling by BG
Snow? YUK! We are in 40’s and 50’s with rain
“The Mercenary Song” by Steve Earle
“And we’re bound for the border
We’re soldiers of fortune
And we’ll fight for no country but we’ll die for good pay
Under the flag of of the greenback dollar
Or the peso down Mexico way”
PRESENTER:
I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas.
I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge.
I've got lots of lovely lire.
Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
PRESENTER and CHORUS:
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money.
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.
Some people say it's folly,
But I'd rather have the lolly.
With money you can make a splash.
PRESENTER:
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money.
CHORUS:
...Money, money, money, money.
PRESENTER:
There is nothing like a newly minted pound.
CHORUS:
...Money, money, money, money.
PRESENTER and CHORUS:
Everyone must hanker
For the butchness of a banker.
It's accountancy that makes the world go 'round.
CHORUS:
'Round, 'round, 'round.
PRESENTER:
You can keep your Marxist ways,
For it's only just a phase,
For it's money, money, money makes the world go 'round.
CHORUS:
...Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, moneeeeey!
Patsy Cline – Side By Side
Oh! We ain`t got a barrel of money
Maybe we`re ragged and funny
But we`ll travel along
Singing a song
Side by side
I don`t know what`s a-comin` tomorrow
Maybe it`s trouble and sorrow
But we`ll travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side
through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we`re together
It really doesn`t matter at all
When they`ve all had their quarrels and parted
We`ll be the same as we started
Just traveling along
Singing a song
Side by side
