Money Honey (2002 Version) lyrics
by Delbert McClinton
[Intro]
C'mon now
[Chorus]
Money, honey, got to get some quick
'Cause this little pile I got won't do the trick
Money, honey, money's what she wants
If I don't get some quick, I'm gonna find her gone
[Verse 1]
A-haulin' these bundles of shingles 'bout to break my back
And that jingle in my pocket ain't nothin' but roofin' tacks
I got to find me a line of work where I can use my mind
I got to get out of these overalls and all of that overtime
[Chorus]
Money, honey, money's what I need
If I'm ever gonna get her to reconsider me
I said, money, honey, money's what it takes
The harder I work, it seems like the less I make
All right, take it on downtown, boy
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Well, I need me a big old slice of American pie
With some French vanilla ice cream on the side
I want to be like the boy that was born with the silver spoon
But I'll settle for one of them jobs in that air-conditioned room, oh
[Chorus]
Money, honey, I got to get some quick
'Cause this little pile I got won't do the trick
Money, honey, money's what I need
If I'm gonna get her to reconsider me
I've got to have some money, money's what it takes
The harder I work, it seems like the less I make
[Outro]
I've got to have some money, oh honey, that's what I need
Oh man, I'm gonna buy me all kind of stuff
When I get me some money, honey
I got to have me some money
I got to have money, oh yeah
Money money money, honey, I got to get some quick
That little ole pile I got won't do the trick
