Jones



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
