歌词：

Money is the anthem of success
So before we go out, what's your address?
I'm your National Anthem,
God, you're so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons
Bugatti Veyron
He loves to romance 'em,
Reckless abandon
Hold me for ransom²
Upper echelon³
He says to "be cool" but,
I don't know how yet
Wind in my hair,
Hand on the back of my neck
I said, "Can we party later on?"
He said, "Yes."

Tell me I'm your National Anthem
(Ooh yeah baby bow down, makin' me so wow wow)
Tell me I'm your National Anthem
(Sugar sugar, how now, take your body downtown)
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and
Baby, heaven's in your eyes
I'm your National Anthem

Money is the reason we exist
Everybody knows it, it's a fact-
Kiss, kiss!
I sing the National Anthem
While I'm standing⁴,
Over your body
Hold you like a python
And you can't keep your hands off me
Or your pants off
See what you've done to me
Give me Chevron⁵
You said to "be cool" but,
I'm already coolest
You said to "get real"-
Don't you know who you're dealing⁶ with?
Um, do you think you'll buy me,
Lots of diamonds? (Yes, I also brought my gun)

Tell me I'm your National Anthem
(Ooh yeah baby bow down, makin' me so wow wow)
Tell me I'm your National Anthem
(Sugar sugar, how now, take your body downtown)
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes
I'm your National Anthem

It's a love story for the new age,
For the six page
Want a quick sick rampage?
Wining and dining,
drinking and driving,
Excessive buying,
Overdose and dyin'
I'm in drugs and our love
In my dreams and a rage,
Blurrin' the lines between real and the fake
God can only, I need somebody to hold me
We will do very well,
I can tell, I can tell
Keep my safe in his spell
Tower, hotel

Money is the anthem of success
So put on mascara, and your party dress

I'm your National Anthem,
Boy put your hands up
Give me a standing ovation⁷,
Boy you have landed
Babe, in the land of
Sweetness and Angel,
Queen of Saigon

Tell me I'm your National Anthem
(Ooh yeah baby bow down, makin' me so wow wow)
Tell me I'm your National Anthem
(Sugar sugar, how now, take your body downtown)
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes
I'm your National Anthem

Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome,
Money is the anthem,
Of success
Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success
Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success
Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success
