Song Lyrics

There was a Joe
Leanin` on the back door
A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills
Their eyes was statin`
They was waitin`
To get their hands on some easy money

They flipped a dime
One said " well, I`ll take heads this time"
One stepped up
One stepped back
One loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn`t speak,
Her knees got weak
She could almost taste that easy money

There was this old black cat
Sittin` in a old black cadillac
The Joe smelled sweet
She curled up at her boyfriend`s feet
She said "I got a plan
Listen, Sam, how`d ya like to make some easy money ? "
He say, "yes! oh yes!
Jus` tell me what you want me to do "
She said, "Baby, you can trust me
Baby, but you must be hidin` in my room
At a quarter to two"
Well, the cat told the boy
"Come up to the room and play with my toy"
But the Jill set the bait
And she wasn`t gonna sit around and wait
But this guy was wise to all the lies
And he flies out the door
With the easy money

Because there ain`t no man
Who got the money in his hand
Who got any of that bread
Bein` slow in the head
The easier it looks
The hotter it hooks
There ain`t no such thing as easy money
We say, "yes! oh yes!"
Saturday night
There was a terrible, terrible fight
Between two dames who was losin` the same game
It wasn`t clear,
But I hear somebody was lookin` for some easy money
