Rickie Lee Jones - Easy money lyrics

There was a Joe

Leaning on the back door

A couple of Jills with their eyes on a couple of bills

There 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 was loosin' her shoulder strap

She couldn't speak

Her knees got weak

She could allmost taste that Easy Money

There was this old black cat

sittin' in this old black cadillac

The Joe smelled sweet

She curled up her boyfriends feet

She said "I got a plan

Listen Sam, how'd ya like to make some of that easy money?"

He said "Yes, oh yes Jus' tell me what you want me to do"

She said "Baby, you can trust me

Baby 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 of 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 harder it hooks

There ain't no such things as

Easy Money

We say "Yes! Oh yes!"

Saturday night

There was a terrible fight

between two dames who was loosin' the same game

It wasn't clear

But I hear that somebody was looking for some

Easy Money
