Hi Jay.
Here are the expressions in Spanish:
Money governs the world = Quien tiene dineros pinta panderos.
Money makes the world go 'round = Con dinero baila el perro.

el perro? Isn't that a dog? Or does it also mean world? - Mariaboerema, Apr 11, 2010
Yes, "perro" is "dog." - --Mariana--, Apr 11, 2010
Hm, that's interesting but I can't gather the meaning... Pintar means to paint and el pandero is tambourine or bum (bottom). I am all mixed up about it... - bomberapolaca, Apr 11, 2010

I think that the full version of this proverb is as follows: Con dinero baila el perro y sin dinero bailas como perro.
