You know, the landlord rang my front door bell-- I let it ring for a long, long spell-- I looked through the window, I peeked through the blind, And asked him to tell me what was on his mind. He said,"Money, honey! Money, honey! Money, honey, If you wanna get along with me."
I was cleaned and skinned and so hard-pressed-- I called the woman that I love the best-- I finally reached my baby 'bout 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 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-- A-how could another man take my place?" She said,"Money, honey!Money, honey! Money, honey, If you wanna get along with me."
Well, I learned my lesson and now I know-- The sun may shine and the wind may blow-- 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 wanna get along with me. (If you wanna get along) Well, make some money (If you wanna get along) Well, I ain't jivin' you, honey (If you wanna get along) You better give up some money If you wanna get along with me --------------------------------------------------------
