Get out of here and get me some mo - ney too!

You're sitting down wond'ring what it's all about.

If you ain't got no money they will put you out.
Why don't you do right,
like some other men do?
Get out of here and bring me some money too?

If you had prepared twenty years ago,

you wouldn't be wandrin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right,
like some other men do?
Get out of here and bring me some money too?

I fell for your jive and I took you in.

Now all you got to offer me's a fifth of gin
Why don't you do right,
like some other men do?
Get out of here and bring me some money too?
