This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Shorty, trust me when I say
You're looking john blaze
In your lingerie
And shorty, I like the way you play
And move about on stage
I won't be mad at you
For swingin' it my way
[Chorus]
I've got my money on you
Big faces spankin' brand new
While I'm here this is what you
Need to do
Come and get this money
If you don't want everyone to see
Just how naughty you can really be
We can ease off to the v.i.p.
Come and get this money
Not too many, wear it quite as well
You can take care of yourself
It ain't hard to tell
And not too many
Can go into a split
From standing to a sit
I ain't mad at you, not one bit
[Chorus]
I got more than 5 on it
(Dance for me, dance for me)
I see you got your eyes on it
(Dance for me, dance for me)
So act like you know, are you trying to
Get this dough, or what?
[Chorus]
You're looking john blaze
In your lingerie
And shorty, I like the way you play
And move about on stage
I won't be mad at you
For swingin' it my way
[Chorus]
I've got my money on you
Big faces spankin' brand new
While I'm here this is what you
Need to do
Come and get this money
If you don't want everyone to see
Just how naughty you can really be
We can ease off to the v.i.p.
Come and get this money
Not too many, wear it quite as well
You can take care of yourself
It ain't hard to tell
And not too many
Can go into a split
From standing to a sit
I ain't mad at you, not one bit
[Chorus]
I got more than 5 on it
(Dance for me, dance for me)
I see you got your eyes on it
(Dance for me, dance for me)
So act like you know, are you trying to
Get this dough, or what?
[Chorus]
