I knew a lady just a week ago had nowhere's to go
I knew her when she wore a boot and a shoe
Oh boys, swear she was blue
Got her a job, she got to be a prank
She takin' all her money and she put it in the bank
She thought she was wise and I did too
And this is what she's going to do
Now, you put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
You put it in, and I'll take it out
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about
Goin' away mama, wear you off my mind
You remember when I had the job in Gary you wouldn't give me a dime
Now, you put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
I mean, M-o-n-e-y
You put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
You put it in, and I'll take it out
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about
Walk yesterday-dee and the day before
Since you got your money you're ready to go
Now, you put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
I mean, M-o-n-e-y
Now, you put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
You put it in, and I'll take it out
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about
Now little mama, please don't be so bold
But please go easy with my small bank roll
Because you put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
I mean, M-o-n-e-y
You put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
You put it in, and I'll take it out
I'm gonna meet you and tell you what it's all about
Now little baby don't you be so lean
I wanna talk to you if you carry it out clean
Now, you put it in, and I'll take it out
What? M-o-n-e-y
I mean, M-o-n-e-y
