I went to the bank just to get a little money When he told me their requirements I started feeling funny He said "You ain't got a house, you ain't got a plot" I ain't got a window and I ain't got a job But it takes a lotta blue-backs to satisfy my honey If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money Well, I went to the social just to get a little pension I was sorely in distress, I was needing some attention They said you don't get a copper, you don't get a dime That's why I broke his jaw, that's why I'm doin' time But it takes a lotta blue-backs to satisfy my honey If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money And then I got a letter off a lawyer in the city It said "You gotta come and see me, boy, it really is a pity Those savings you got - in the casino disappeared" And he went out the window real quick, honey! And I'll do it all again but it may sound funny If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money Well I went to my banker just to raise a little money He said "I'm glad to see ya", but I started feeling funny He said "You ain't got a house, you ain't got a job" I ain't got a window and I ain't got a plot But it takes a lotta blue-backs to satisfy my honey If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money F-oldin' money F-oldin' money F-oldin' money F-oldin' money
