Check your pockets Check the beat Turn the lights off Hit the street Can you dig it? Feel the funk Freak me out Stash the junk Stop and don't you take my love away Stop and don't you take my love away Find the beauty all inside 'Cause you've had it all the time Jewels wrapped in paper Jewels wrapped in paper Check the stash Scope the range Shake the fuzz Gotta' make some change Stop and don't you take my love away Stop and don't you take my love away Find the beauty all inside 'Cause you've had it all the time Took a chance and hit it cold No romance could break da mould Inside da mould the fat man told Precious, precious, precious gold A taste of money in his mouth He took a train from north to south Came across a crooked disco On the streets of San Francisco Check it out now Mr. Spade Out of that stuff true dreams are made Wait until you get real paid Seems tonight she won't get laid Wilmer, Gutman, Mr. Cairo La Paloma set on pyro Smokin' smooth he is da man Just play it, play it, play it again, Sam
