lyrics

Give that 500 fils
What's it to you when it can bring this many dollar bills?
If it's in your pocket still
It can't be out workin' in that farmer's field...

You gotta give it
So you can loan it
So they can get it
So they can own it!

Loan out your love for their living
It's gonna give us much more than we're giving

Givin' fils to fill the need
It's like fillin' your heart with the opposite of greed
Now they're sewin' shirts and sowin' seeds
And you're feelin' pretty good 'cause you're doin' good deeds!

Like Mahatma said, you gotta be the change
Some people need your change
Come on and leave some change!

Loan out your love for their living
It's gonna give us much more than we're giving

Loan out your love for their living
It's gonna give us much more...

Then I saw her face--I'm a be-kiva
Without a trace of doubt in my mind
I've been givin' loans (lo-ans!)
I'm a be-kiva, I could kiva if I...

Loan you, loan you MONEY
Loan out your love now...

Ooo...
Loans are lonely; give 'em a home...
Kiva, Kiva, leave us a loan

Loan out, Loan out, Loan out--Loan out your love!

Loan out your love for their living
It's gonna give us much more than we're giving
Loan out your love for their living...

It's gonna give us much more
It's gonna even the score
We're gonna dance on the floor
While we're giving!
