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
Gimme some cash, y'all
Just a little money, honey
I need some cash
