You know, the landlord rang my front door bell
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I went to the window
I peeped 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 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 a long 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 you 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
