Текст Ry Cooder – Money Honey

Well, the landlord rang my frontdoor bell
I let it rang for a long, long spell
Went to the window, peeped through the blind
Asked him to tell me what was on his mind

I was clean and screened and so hard pressed
I called the woman that I loved the best
Finally found my baby ’bout a quarter to three
She said, «I’d like to know what you want with me»
And I said, «Money honey, money honey, money honey
If you wanna get along with me»

Well, she screamed and said
«What’s wrong with you, from this day forth
Our romance is through»
I said, «Tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?»
She said, «Money honey, money honey, money honey
If you wanna get along with me»

I’ve learned a lesson and now I know
Sun may shine, wind may blow
Women may come and women may go
But before I tell ’em that I love ’em so
I want «Money honey, money honey, money honey
If you wanna get along with me»
