. There´ s a rumour going round says you're gonna 
split,

they say you're going away, it´s a midnight blitz,
but there´s only good in leaving with a suitcase full 
of load,
‘cause where´s all the good times and the pocket full 
of I.O.U.s !
Take the cash, don´t let them pay you in kind,
take the cash before they change their minds,
and let´s see the colour of the money – take the cash !
2. It´s a secret operation, don´t want this getting 
out,
so watch it, watch it, watch it, if the payment doesn´t 
bounce,
it´s the sweetness of the ready, makes the bell ring on 
the tail,
and if they say they pay next week, you know: they 
never will.

Take the cash, don´t let them pay you in kind,

take the cash before they change their minds,
and let´s see the colour of the money – take the cash !
And if they try to tell you there´s a cheque in the 
post,
you know, you know, you know that you can take it as a 
joke.

Take the cash, don´t let them pay you in kind,

take the cash before they change their minds,
and let´s see the colour of the money !

3. It´s a heavy operation, got to do the job and run,
so don´t pretend you trust, and get the money down in 
front,
‘cause it´s the sweetness of the ready, makes the bell 
ring on the tail,
and if they say they pay next week, you know : they 
never will.
Take the cash, don´t let them pay you in kind,
take the cash before they change their minds,
and let´s see the colour of the money - - - take the 
cash !
+ Take the cash – take the K.A.S.H. (repeat 5x+ fade …)
