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 peeped through the blind

And asked him to tell me what's on his mind

He said

Money, honey, uh uh

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, uh uh

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

'Bout how could another man take my place

She said

Money, honey, uh uh

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, uh uh

Money, honey

Money, honey

If you want to get along with me
