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
