[Prelude]
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Happy Birthday to you
Thanks, Mr. President
For all the things you've done
The battles that you've won
The way you deal with US Steel and our problems by the ton
We thank you so much
Everybody


[Intro: Lana Del Rey]
Money is the anthem of success
So before we go out, what's your address


[Verse 1]
I'm your National Anthem
God, you're so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons
Bugatti Veyron
He loves to romance them
Reckless abandon
Holding me for ransom
Upper echelon

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, yes, yes

[Refrain]
Tell me I'm your National Anthem
Ooh yeah, baby bow down

Making me so wild now
Tell me I'm your National Anthem
Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town
Red, white, blue's in the sky
Summer's in the air and
Baby heaven's in your eyes
I'm your National Anthem


[Verse 2]
Money is the reason we exist
Everybody knows it, it's a fact

Kiss, kiss
I sing the National Anthem
While I'm standing over your body
Hold you like a python
And you can't keep your hands off me
Or your pants on
See what you've done to me

Give me Chevron
He said to be cool but I'm already coolest
I said to get real, don't you know who you're dealing with
Um, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds


[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
It's a love story for the new age
For the six page

We're on a quick, sick rampage
Wining and dining
Drinking and driving
Excessive buying

Overdose and dying
On our drugs and our love

And our dreams and our rage
Blurring the lines between real and the fake
Dark and lonely
I need somebody to hold me

We will do very well
I can tell, I can tell
Keep my safe in his bell 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 ovation
Boy, you have landed
Babe, in the land of
Sweetness and Danger
Queen of Saigon


[Refrain]

[Outro x3]
Money is the anthem
God, you're so handsome
Money is the anthem
Of success
