Clyde McPhatter - Money Honey

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I looked through the window, I peeked through the blind
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind

He said, "Money, honey
Money, honey, money, honey
If you wanna get along with me"

I was cleaned and skinned and so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the 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 wanna 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 wanna get along with me"

Well, I learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the wind may blow
Women may come and the women may go
But before I say, I love 'em so

I want money, honey
Money, honey, money, honey
If you wanna get along with me

(If you wanna get along)
Well, make some money
(If you wanna get along)
Well, I ain't jivin' you, honey

(If you wanna get along)
You better give up some money
If you wanna get along with me
