Trying to put together a "Money Medley" for a benefit concert I'm involved in... so far we have:

"The Money Song" from "Avenue Q"
"Money Makes The World Go Round" from "Cabaret"
"Money, Money, Money" from "Mamma Mia"

Any other well known showtunes that are about money??

Dunno if this counts since its about not only having lots of money but a ton of stuff that you can buy with it. "Great Big Stuff" from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
