[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
You know the landlord rang my front doorbell
~#**************#~
I let it ring for a long, long spell
~#**************#~
I went to the window, I peeped through the blind
~#**************#~
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
He said, “Money, honey, huh-huh
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
If you want to get along with me”
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Well, I screamed, and I hollered, I was so hard-pressed
~#**************#~
I called the woman that I loved the best
~#**************#~
I finally got my baby about half-past three
~#**************#~
She said, “Id like to know what you want with me”
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I said, “Money, honey, huh-huh
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
If you want to get along with me”
~#**************#~
[Interlude]
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Well, I said, “Tell me, baby, whats wrong with you?”
~#**************#~
“From this day on our romance is through”
~#**************#~
I said, “Tell me, baby, face to face
~#**************#~
How could another man take my place?”
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
She said, “Money, honey, huh-huh
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
If you want to get along with me”
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
Well, Ive learned my lesson, and now I know
~#**************#~
The sun may shine, and the winds may blow
~#**************#~
The women may come, and the women may go
~#**************#~
But before I say, “I love you so”
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I want money, honey, huh-huh
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
Money, honey
~#**************#~
If you want to get along with me
