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 peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind, he said,
Money, honey, yes, money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to stay here with me.
I was cleaned as a screen, and so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I love the best.
I finally got my baby about a half past three,
She said I'd like to know what you want with me, I said,
Money, honey, money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to 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, money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.
Now I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love 'em so, I want
Money, honey, money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.
(If you want to get along)
Oh, I need some money
(If you want to get along)
Well I ain't jivin' you honey
(If you want to get along)
You gotta give up some money
If you want to get along with me
