You know the landlord's ringing 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 was on his mind
He said, money honey, huh-huh, money honey
Money honey, if you wanna 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 a-half past three
She said, I'd like to know what you want off me
I said, money honey, huh-huh, money honey
Money honey, if you wanna get along with me

Well, I said to my baby, what's a-wrong with you
From this day on our romance is through
I said, just tell me baby face to face
How could another man take my place
She said, money honey, huh-huh, money honey
Money honey, if you wanna get along with me
Well, I've learned a lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow
The women may come and the women may go
Well, before I say I love you so
Money honey, huh-huh, money honey
Money honey, if you wanna get along with me
