Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's
(See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s a millionaire)
Gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
Gotta move these colour TV's
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's
Look a' here
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on your MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
I want my, I want my, I want my MTV
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

Review about Money For Nothing A Side Note... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/25/09
It should be noted that the terms used in this song derive from what Knopfler heard. He wrote this song from the perspective of a man working in a hardware store that he heard say these things while he was in the store in "real" life, and felt it would be "more real" to grab a paper and write what he heard said at the time.
The word 'Faggot' | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/4/09
I don't think it ruins the song..You've got to understand that 'faggot' doesn't ALWAYS mean 'gay or homosexual'. A 'faggot' can just be an A-hole. If your friend is hogging all the nachos, you can say "Hey man stop being a faggot." It doesn't mean he's gay... he's just a faggot. It's elementary!

Great song ruined by the word 'faggot'. C'mon, that's just not cool. It's not cool today, it wasn't cool in the eighties (and it's somewhat ironic an 80's music group are dissing 'faggots', given 80s fashion)
The version being over 8 minutes is a grate version of this song, however the 4 minute version is even better!!! This is one of DS's most popular songs, and is one of my favorites, i like this one as much as Heavy Fuel.
Mark's heavy metal guitar is really cool, and the vocals rule, and drums rule!! 100% of excellent music for 8 minutes!! How did this song come out
when MTV came out~~~, it did!! "I WANT MY I WANT MY I WANT MY MTV", by sting is really cool!!! The song starts out slow, then gets better by a minute and stays that way for the rest of this song. Here are my top 11
favorite songs by Dire Straits.
1. Heavy Fuel
2. Money for Nothing
3. Tunnel of Love
4. Sultans of Swing
5. The Bug
6. Calling Elvis
7. On Every Street
8. So Far Away
9. When It Comes to You
10. Lady Writer
11. Twisting by the Pool
