Money Honey


(Jesse Stone)
(A) - (D) - (E) Capo on 1

(A) Well, the landlord rang my frontdoor bell
(E) I let it rang for a long, long spell
(D) Went to the window, peeped through the blind
(E) Asked him to tell me what was on his mind
He said, (A) ";Money honey, (D) money honey, (A) money honey
(E) If you wanna stay here with (A) me";

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";
