Well the landlord rang my front door bell
He let it ring for a long, long spell
Went to the window, peeked through the blind
Asked him to tell me what was on his mind
An' he said:

Money honey
Money honey
Money honey
If you want to stay up here with me

I was screamin' green an so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the best
Finally found my baby 'bout a quarter to three
She said "I wanna know what you want with me"
An I said:

Money honey (Just a little bit)
Money honey
Money honey
If you wanna git along with me

Well she screamed and said
"What's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through"
I should tell my baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
An she said:

Money honey (lots and lots of that)
Money honey (you got to give me some)
Money honey
If you wanna git along with me

I learned my lesson and now I know
Sun may shine and the wind may blow
Women come and women may go
But before I'll tell em that I love em so
I want

Money honey (Do you have some?)
Money honey
Money honey
If you wanna get along with me
Money honey, (Give me)
Money honey, (I need some)
Money honey, if you wanna get along with me
