Money Honey

You know the landlord rang my front door bell

I let it ring for a long, long spell

I went to the window and peeked through the blind

And asked him to tell me what was on his mind

He said, "Money, honey, yes

Money, honey, mhm

Money, honey

If you wanna stay here with me"

I was clean as a skein and so hard-pressed

I called the woman that I loved best

I finally got my baby 'bout a half past three

She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me"

I said, "Money, honey, ah

Money, honey, mhm

Money, honey

If you wanna get along with me"

She screamed and said, "What's wrong with you?

From this day on our romance is through"

I said, "Tell me, baby, face to face

How could another man take my place?"

She said, "Money, honey, mhm

Money, honey, oh

Money, honey

If you wanna get along with me, oh"

Ah!

Now I've learned my lesson and now I know

The sun may shine and the winds may blow

Women may come and women may go

But you know I say I love 'em so

I want money, honey, ooh

Money, honey, oh

Money, honey

If you wanna get along with me

(If you wanna get along)

Oh, make some money

(If you wanna get along)

But I ain't jivin' you, honey

(If you wanna get along)

You gotta give up some money

If you wanna get along with me
