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
