Mm-hmm!  Y'all talk about stingy women.  Y'all ain't got no
stingy women!  Man, I got one so stingy, she's too scared to
breathe hard for fear she catch the asthma!  I 'member once
I had a little job in Gary.  I was gonna make fifty dollars
on the job!  I asked for a dime, she didn't give me no dime,
no sir!

I knew a lady just a week ago
Had nowhere to go.
I knew her when she wore a boot and a shoe,
Oh boys, swear she was blue!

Got her a job, she got to be a prank,
She takin' all her money and she put it in the bank.
She thought she was wise, and I did too,
And this is what she's going to do.

Now you put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y!
You put it in, and I'll take it out,
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about!

Goin' away, mama, where you off your mind!
You 'member when I had that job in Gary?
You wouldn't give me a dime!
Now you put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y, I mean,
M-O-N-E-Y!

You put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y!
You put it in, and I'll take it out,
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about!

Walk yesterday-dee and the day before,
Since you got your money you're ready to go!
Now you put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y, I mean,
M-O-N-E-Y!

You put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y!
You put it in, and I'll take it out,
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about!

Now little mama, please don't be so bold,
But please go easy with my small bank roll!
Because you put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y, I mean,
M-O-N-E-Y!

You put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y!
You put it in, and I'll take it out,
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about!

Now little baby, don't you be so lean,
I wanna talk to you if you carry it out clean!
Now you put it in, and I'll take it out!
What?  M-O-N-E-Y, I mean,
M-O-N-E-Y!
