If You're Going to the City (1968 Version)

If you're going to the city

You better have some cash

If you're going to the city

You better have some cash

Because the people in the city

Don't mess around with trash

When you get up to the city

You better lock your door

When you get up to the city

You better lock your door

You know they'll take what you got, boy

Then they'll ask for more

When you get up to the city

You got to learn to shout

When you get up to the city

You better learn to shout

You know if you don't stand up and holler

You're gonna get left out

And if you stay up in the city

There's just two things I hope

I said if you stay up in the city

There's just two things I hope

That you don't take money from a woman

And you don't start messing 'round with dope
