[Intro]
Tell 'em what we need, James!
Yeeey, haow! Well...
[Verse 1]
Now, ain't the way you're coming on
And what you say is not that strong
Could be the way you wear your clothes
Cus wearing clothes and hope [?], but nobody knows
But did you ever stop to think, ha
It ain't even what you drink
Now, when you've got some dust
You don't ever hear a buzz
But when you've got some dough
You don't have to worry
About the way the wind blows
If you see something you like
You say "wrap it up", then put it in the sack
When your money ran out
The grass man don't want you back
Take me!
[Chorus]
Tell me what I need
(It's your money, baby) Say it!
(Uh-huh) Tell me!
(It's your money, baby) One more
(That's what it is) Say it again!
(It's your money, baby) Say it!
(Uh-huh) Say it again!
(It's your money, baby) Tell me!
(That's what it is) AAAAOOOW!
[Post-Chorus]
When you can pay a tab
You don't have to hear no crap
Aahh, sit down, uh! Good God, ow!
Wow! Uh, look here now
[Verse 2]
When you know you've got some dough
You don't have to worry
About the way the wind blows
If you see something you like
You tell 'em "wrap it up", then put it in the sack
When your money ran out
The grass man don't want you back
So men, go and get some vodka
Or mister, you're out of luck, ah
[Chorus]
You know you need something right here
What you need?
(It's your money, baby) Say it!
(Uh-huh) One more time!
(It's your money, baby) Say it!
(That's what it is) Tell me!
(It's your money, baby) Get 'em hip!
(Uh-huh) Say it!
(It's your money, baby) Say it!
(That's what it is)
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, as long as I've paid the tab
I don't have to hear no blab!
Hey, ha, yes sir
Ha, whoa, yes sir
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
Lookit here now!
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
Ah, aahhh
[Verse 3]
It ain't the way you're coming on
And what you say is not that strong
Could be the way you wear your clothes
Cus wearing clothes is for, nobody knows
But did you ever stop to think, ha
It ain't even what you drink
But now when you've got some dust
You don't have to hear no fuss
Ahh!
[Chorus]
(It's your money, baby) Say it, yeah!
(Uh-huh) One more time!
(It's your money, baby) Tell me!
(That's what it is) Tenth [?]
(It's your money, baby) Say it!
(Uh-huh) A little more dust!
(It's your money, baby)
(That's what it is)
[Post-Chorus]
As long as you've paid the tab
You don't have to hear no drag!
Hey, yes sir, sit down
Sit down, yeah
Lookit here, one more time:
[Verse 4]
Ain't the way you're coming on
'Cause what you say is not that strong
Could be the way you wear your clothes
Cus wearing clothes is open, nobody knows
But did you ever stop to think, ah
It ain't even what you drink
But now when you've got some dust, ah
You don't have to hear no fuss
You got some money, ha
You got some money, ha-huh
[Verse 5]
Now when you've got some dough
You don't worry about the way the wind blows
And when you see something you like
You say to wrap it up, and put it in the sack
And when your money ran out
The grass man don't want you back
So go out and get you some bucks
Or mister, you're out of luck
[Outro]
You gotta foot the bill
You gotta food bill
You gotta water bill
You gotta telephone bill
You gotta cleaner bill
You gotta insurance bill
You gotta hospital bill
You gotta gas bill, electric bill
Trouble in the Middle East
Last, but not least
You gotta gasoline bill
Take me to the bridge
(It's your money, baby...)
