The Drifters — Money Honey

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell-- I let it ring for a long, long spell-- I looked through the window, I peeked through the blind And asked him to tell me what was on his mind He said, "Money, honey! Money, honey! Money, honey If you wanna get along with me." I was cleaned and skinned and so hard-pressed-- I called the woman that I love the best-- I finally reached my baby 'bout a half past three-- She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me." I said, "Money, honey! Money, honey! Money, honey If you wanna get along with me." She screamed and said, "What's wrong with you? From this day on, our romance is through." I said, "Tell me, baby, face to face-- A-how could another man take my place?" She said, "Money, honey! Money, honey! Money, honey If you wanna get along with me." Well, I learned my lesson and now I know-- The sun may shine and the wind may blow-- Women may come, and the women may go But before I say I love 'em so I want-- money, honey! Money, honey! Money, honey If you wanna get along with me (If you wanna get along) Well, make some money (If you wanna get along) Well, I ain't jivin' you, honey (If you wanna get along) You better give up some money If you wanna get along with me
