Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
He said, "Money honey, yes
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to stay here with me"
[Verse 2]
I was cleaned and skinned and so hard-pressed
I called the woman that I love best
I finally got my baby 'bout a half past three
She said, I'd like to know what you want with me
[Chorus]
I said, "Money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me"
[Verse 3]
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?"
[Chorus]
She said, "Money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me"
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
I want-a money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
[Outro]
If you want to get along (Well, make 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
