Money Honey

Ry Cooder

Well, the landlord rang my frontdoor bell 
I let it rang for a long, long spell 
Went to the window, peeped through the blind 
Asked him to tell me what was on his mind 
He said, "Money honey, money honey, money honey 
If you wanna stay here with me" 

I was clean and screened and so hard pressed 
I called the woman that I loved the best 
Finally found my baby 'bout a quarter to three 
She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me" 
And I said, "Money honey, money honey, money honey 
If you wanna get along with me" 

Well, she screamed and said 
"What's wrong with you, from this day forth 
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 wanna get along with me" 

I've learned a lesson and now I know 
Sun may shine, wind may blow 
Women may come and women may go 
But before I tell 'em that I love 'em so 
I want "Money honey, money honey, money honey 
If you wanna get along with me"
