I fought real hard as tho I ran out the door,
Decided to go to the grocery store
I check my pocket claim for claim
Had no money, so I got real mean
Now I didn't have a penny to spare,
All my pockets were just plain bare
Then I began to feel funny,
Thought about gettin' some quick easy money
So I went to see a friend of mine
To see if he was financially fine
And he started talkin' of this and that
About that time I grabbed my hat
I went to see my dear sweet mother
After that, I seen my brother
And he started talkin' all that jive
And all I wanted was to borrow a five
I need some cash
I got to have it fast
Oh yeah-eehh-yea-heah
Now you should understand my plea
Will someone out there please listen to me?
Five, ten, fifteen, or twenty
Someone out there please give me some money
I see ya jammin' at the Discoteque
Well I'm not choosy, Write me a cheque
You wonder why there's so much crime?
People like me can't get a dime
If there's anyone who understands me
Let me hear you say "Mo-ney!"
(Money!)
I need some cash
I got to have it fast
Oh yeah-eehh-yea-heah
Well I know you ladies understand
Just what I really need is a man
A man who spends from four to two
A man who has some equity
Someone who is full of thrills,
Someone who will pay my bills
Now I don't have time to be no crew
I just want someone to give me a clue
I wanna know who's got the stash
Cuz I really need some cash
If there's anyone who understands me
Let me hear you say "Mo-ney!"
(Money!)
I need some cash
I got to have it fast
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
Gimme some cash
Gimme some cash y'all
Just a little money, Honey
I need some cash
