Take the Money and Run Songtext
von McAlmont & Nyman

Maybe maybe you should sit
It′s a shock and it hit me for six
Is it a trick?
Baby we could be rich
Somebody made a mistake
If we're quick we can change our lives
Right now I need you to think
′Cause the chances are slim
What are the odds?
Can we drop everything and just leave?
Can we pull it off?
Shouldn't we come clean?


Is it a once in a lifetime flash?
We got millions in cash
When they clock the cock up
All the options are off
We could be miles away
Taking a long holiday in Honkers or Seoul
If nobody knows we can slip away
Leave the ute in the terminal park
And the authorities in the dark
Stashing the cash off-shore
What are we waiting for?

Baby you know how it's been
We′ve got fading dreams in a tourist town
And the numbers are down
I′ve got you working for free and a daughter to feed
And the pumps are slow
The house won't sell
They call it the bay of plenty when there′s nothing here
But tomorrow is nothing to fear
If we take our chances now


Let's leave it all behind
Get her out of school
The Kid′ll love an adventure
Bring your sister too
And my mother must
And my brothers as well
The mortgage and the businesses can all go to hell
'Cause we did our best
But now the fates came through to give us a chance
So don′t you wanna take a bite?
This is the ticket.
Let's take the flight.

We've got to take the money and run
