'And now, a fellow who has a song in the Top Ten
Songs in America, here is Clyde McPhatter'
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
I asked him to tell me what was on his mind
(What he said)
Money, honey, uh-huh-huh
Money, honey, uh-huh
Money, honey
If you wanna stay here with me
I was clean as a screen
And so hard-pressed
I called the woman that I loved the best
I finally got my baby 'bout a-half past three
She said, 'I'd like to know what you want with me?'
Money, honey, uh-huh-uh
Money, honey, uh-huh-huh
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
You know she screamed and said
'What's what's wrong with a-you?'
From this day on our romance is through
I said, 'Tell me baby, face to face
Now, how could another man take my place?'
She says
Money, honey, hoo-wee!
Money, honey, uh-huh-uh
Money, honey
If you want to get a long with me
(sax)
I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow
The women may come, the women may go
But before I say, I love you so
I want
Money, honey, woo-wee!
Money, honey, uh-huh
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
(What?)
Oh, it may sound funny
But I ain't got his money
Gotta give up some money
If you wanna get along with me.
(applause)
