Well it was Saturday night, I was sitting in the kitchen   Checking out the women on Spanish television   Got a call from Paul who was just let out of prison   He said hey listen, there's something I'm missing   I said I'm on it, honest, it's on its way   You're gonna get your money in a couple of days, okay?   I'm just a little strapped for cash   Take it easy baby, cut me some slack, I said      I'm just a little strapped for cash   Very temporary, don't you worry 'bout that   Strapped for cash      So I headed out west to invest in the races   All the goddamn horses kept falling on their faces   Didn't fare much better at the Taj Mahal   Chalk it up to bad luck and free alcohol   And now I'm laying low, you know I'm trying to stall   But I don't know how much longer I can dodge the calls   Sayin'      I'm just a little strapped for cash   Don't you know I wouldn't do you like that   I'm just a little strapped for cash   Give me a minute you know you'll get it back   C'mon      Strapped for cash   Strapped for cash      Six bodybuilders pulled up in a Pinto   Next thing I know they're coming through the window   Hate to keep you waiting, I know times are hard   Now would you prefer a Visa or a MasterCard      Because I'm just a little strapped for cash   Take a seat, I'll be back in a flash, I said   I'm just a little strapped for cash   No need to have a heart attack   Bop shoo wop, bop bop shoo wop
