The Drifters — Money Honey

Текст песни: Money Honey

Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh

[Verse 1]
You know the landlord rang my front door bell
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I went to the window and peeked through the blind
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind

[Chorus]
He said, "Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Yes
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Mmmm hmmmm
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
If you wanna stay here with me"

[Verse 2]
I was cleaned and skeenned and so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the best
I finally got my baby 'bout a half past three
She said, "I'd like to know what you want with me"

[Chorus]
I said, "Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Ahhh
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Mmmm hmmmm
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
If you wanna get along with me"
[Verse 3]
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?"

[Chorus]
She said, "Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Mmmm hmmmm
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Ohhhhhhh
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
If you wanna get along with me"

[Sax solo]
Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh
Uh ooooh
Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!

Umm bop bop
Umm bop she-bop
Umm bop bop
Umm bop she-bop
Umm bop bop
Umm bop she-bop
Ummmm
Ummmm
Ummmm
[Verse 4]
Now I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow
Women may come and women may go
But before I say, I love 'em so

[Chorus]
I want money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Woooo
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
Ohhhh
Money honey (umm bop she-bop)
If you wanna get along with me

[Outro]
(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 gotta give up some money
If you wanna get along with me
