Money Honey

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I went to the window and peeked through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind
He said, "Money, honey!
Yes, money, honey!
Mm-mm-hm, money, honey,
If you want to stay here with me"
I was cleaned and screened and so hard-pressed
I called the woman that I love best
I finally reached my baby 'bout a 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"
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?"
She said, "Money, honey!
Money, honey!
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me"
Now, I 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,
I want, money, honey!
Money, honey!
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me
(If you want to get along) Oh, it may sound funny
(If you want to get along) But 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
