Song lyrics
I want my 
I want my MTV

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 ain't for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Let me tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color 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

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TV's

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TV's

Look here, look here
I should'a learned to play the guitar
I should'a learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera man
She's really turnin' me on
And he's up there, what's that?
Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
Oh, 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 kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TV's

Listen here
Now, that ain't workin' 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
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

I want my 
I want my MTV

Awesome song!! One of the best I reckon. A friend was having drinks one night and as we were leaving, this song came on! I said, "Wait, guys! You have to hear this!" They all looked at me kind of blankly as I turned it up and started to play air-guitar to the intro - and then it got into it and everyone was like "Ohhh!!" but they didn't know the song very well and I was like, "Guys, you suck! This is classic rock!" But yeah they continued to be ignorant to the good old rock. 'Tis a shame.
Raise your glasses to Dire Straits!

The bass in the begining of this song is so amazing it makes me want to die every time i hear it. too bad mtv is all about rap and not guitar these days.

Oh man this is one ass kicking song.
Knopfler is a riff machine dude. it came on the radio today and i ran out and bobbed my head to it and i was singing it when my mom walked in and laughed. i couldn't care less

I like the use of faggot in the song
