Greenback Boogie
[Verse 1]
See the money, wanna stay for your meal
Get another piece of pie for your wife
Everybody wanna know how it feel
Everybody wanna see what it's like
Well, baby wanna be a queen? Well, alright
We all deserve the finer things in this life

[Verse 2]
So working on a little job in the night
It's forty dollars an hour when I see the light
The boss is sayin' I look tired, I don't mind
He'll be working in a small box 'til he die
Well, me, I gotta be free all my life
I want a little cream cheese in my pie

[Chorus]
Alright, yeah!
All get back, if you don't dance
The greenback boogie
Motherfucking boogie

[Verse 3]
Now I'm putting on a big wig, walkin' hard
Hanging with them big pigs, all them dogs
Got me a couple ideas straight from God
I want a bean pie, order me a bean pie
Living in a beehive, I don't mind
Me and Missy, it's so early, busy, busy making money
[Chorus]
Alright
All step back, I'm 'bout to dance
The greenback boogie
The greenback boogie

[Bridge]
Boogie now for me, hey!
Say, it's far better
When you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
What people don't say, I say
It's better
When you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now, I say
It's better (C'mon back to paradise)
When you give it away (C'mon back to paradise)
It's called the greenback boogie (C'mon back to paradise)
Don't give it all away now, I say (C'mon back to, c'mon back to)

[Verse 4]
See the money, wanna stay for your meal
They'll say it's gonna put some love in your life
Don't you really wanna know how it feel?
Everybody wanna see what it's like
Babe, you wanna be inside, it ain't lies
We all know there's better things in this life
[Chorus]
All step back, I'm about to dance
On the greenback boogie
Motherfucking boogie
Boogie-oogie-oogie
Greenback boogie

[Outro]
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to, c'mon back to)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to, c'mon back to)
It's the greenback boogie (C'mon back to paradise)
It's the greenback boogie (C'mon back to paradise)
Don't give it all away now (C'mon back to paradise)
Don't give it all away now, I say (C'mon back to, c'mon back to)
It's better (C'mon back to paradise)
When you greenback boogie (C'mon back to paradise)
Well, don't give it all away (C'mon back to paradise)
Well, don't give it all away, I say (C'mon back to, c'mon back to)
It's better (C'mon back to paradise)
It's the greenback boogie (C'mon back to paradise)
Don't give it all away (C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to, c'mon back to)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to paradise)
(C'mon back to, c'mon back to)
