Money Honey Lyrics

You know the landlord rang my front door bell
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I went to the window
I peeked through the blind
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind

He said, "Money honey Yes
Money honey Mmmm hmmmm
Money honey
If you wanna stay here with me"

I was cleaned and skeenned and so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the 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 Ahhh
Money honey Mmmm hmmmm
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 Mmmm hmmmm
Money honey Ohhhhhhh
Money honey
If you wanna get along with me"


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 before I say, I love 'em so

I want money honey Woooo
Money honey Ohhhh
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 gotta give up some money
If you wanna get along with me
