I got on a streetcar one day, the conductor held out his hand
You can't get no free ride here, man don't you understand
You must have - stuff they call money
You must have - down in your pocket
You must have - the stuff they call money
Don't you can't ride on here
See the girl goin' down the street, she look so nice and neat
I looked around at my buddy, he say "You know that can't be beat"
But you must have - stuff they call money
You must have - down in your pocket
You must have - the stuff they call money
Don't you can't buy it in here
I asked a girl, let's have some fun, this is what she said
"If you ain't got no money, you cain't get in my bed"
Cause you must have - stuff they call money
You must have - down in your pocket
You must have - the stuff they call money
Don't you can't buy it in here
I went in a place last night, a man pulled up a gun
He said "sit quiet everybody, don't nobody run"
Cause you must have - stuff they call money
You must have - down in your pocket
You must have - the stuff they call money
Don't you can't stay in here
I went in a place last night, I went there with my friend
This is what the people said, don't never come back again
Cause you must have - stuff they call money
You must have - down in your pocket
You must have - the stuff they call money
Don't you can't stay in here
