Money Honey Songtext
von The Drifters

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell--
I let it ring for a long, long spell--
I looked through the wind′ow, 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.
