Walking down the main drag one night   I met a fine chick that looked just right   She stopped in I flashed my roll   I told her she could have all of my dough      She turned around and with a frown   She said this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown      Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   So there ain't no need in your hangin' around      Just to make the hit with that chick   I tried to get a Cadillac right quick   The man at the place looked so strange   I had nine hundred bucks and some change      We disagreed, I tried to plead   He said I ain't no chicken and I don't need your feed      Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Then brother you're crawling we passed your speed      I'm walking and countin' my bucks   The man with the gun said hands up   I tried to get away but I was too slow   He caught me and took all of my dough      I heard him shout, as he cut out   You really lost nothing what you're crying about?      Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   And he took my watch and I passed out      I woke in the arms of a big cop   Police station next stop   The judge swung his fist down plunk plunk   Twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk      Dig up the dough and you can go   And all I had was a buffalo      Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   Your cash ain't nothing but trash   But I sure better get me some more
