You know the landlord rang my front door bell

I let it ring for a long, long spell

Went to the window baby, peeked through the blind

And asked him to tell me what was on her mind

Money baby, don't you know it

Money woman and let her show it

Money honey, if you wanna stay home with me

Well, I was cleaned and and was so hard pressed

I called the woman that I love the best

I finally got my baby 'bout a half past three

She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me"

I said, money baby, don't you know it

Money, woman and let her show it

Money honey, if you wanna stay home with me

Well she screamed and she said, "What's wrong with you?

From this day on, our romance is through"

I said, "Tell me, baby, face to face

How could another woman take my place?"

I said, money baby, don't you know it

Money woman, and let her show it

Money honey if you wanna stay home with me

Well, I've learned my lesson, now I know

The sun may shine and the winds may blow

Women may come, women may go

But before I say, I love you so

I want money baby, don't you know it

Money woman, and let her show it

Money honey, if you wanna stay home with me

Money honey

If you wanna get along with me
