| I got real hungry so I went out the door
|
| Decided to go to the grocery store
|
| I checked my pockets and they were clean
|
| Had no money, so I got real mean
|
| Now I didn’t have a penny to spare
|
| All my pockets were just plain bare
|
| Then I began to feel funny
|
| Thought about gettin' some quick easy money
|
| So I went to see a friend of mine
|
| To see if he was financially fine
|
| And he started talkin' on this and that
|
| About that time I grabbed my hat
|
| I went to see my dear sweet mother
|
| After that, I seen my brother
|
| And he started talkin' all that jive
|
| And all I wanted was to borrow a five
|
| I need some cash
|
| I got to have it fast
|
| Oh yeah
|
| Now you should understand my plea
|
| Would someone out there just listen to me?
|
| Five, ten, fifteen, or twenty
|
| Someone out there, please give me some money
|
| I see ya jammin' at the discotheque
|
| Well, I’m not choosy, write me a check
|
| You wonder why there’s so much crime?
|
| People like me can’t get a dime
|
| If there’s anyone who understands me
|
| Let me hear you say «Money!»
|
| (Money!)
|
| I need some cash
|
| I got to have it fast
|
| Oh yeah
|
| Well, I know you ladies understand
|
| 'Cause what I really need is a man
|
| A man who is full of sincerity
|
| A man who has some equity
|
| Someone who is full of thrills
|
| Someone who will pay my bills
|
| Now I’m not trying to be real cool
|
| I just want someone to give me a clue
|
| I wanna know who’s got the stash
|
| 'Cause I really need some cash
|
| If there’s anyone who understands me
|
| Let me hear you say «Money!»
|
| (Money!)
|
| I need some cash
|
| I got to have it fast
|
| Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
|
| Gimme some cash
