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's on his mind He said Money, honey Money, honey Money, honey, if you want to get along with me Well, I screamed and I hollered I was so hard-pressed I called the woman that I loved the best I finally got my baby about 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 Well, I said tell me baby, 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 Well, 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
