You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.

I let it ring for a long, long spell.

I went to the window,

I peeped through the blind,

And asked him to tell me what was on his mind.

He said,

[Chorus:]

"Money, honey, a-huh-huh

Money, honey.

Money, honey, if you wanna get along with me."

Well, I screamed and I hollered,

I was so hard-pressed.

I called the woman that I loved the best.

I finally got my baby 'bout half past three,

She said I'd like to know whatcha want with me.

I said,

[Chorus]

Well, I said "Tell me baby, what's wrong with you?

From this day on our romance is through?"

I said "Tell me baby, face to face

How could another man take my place?"

She said

[Chorus]

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

The sun may shine and the winds may blow.

The women may come and the women may go,

But before I say "I love you so"

I want

[Chorus]
