LyricS

Haven’t got a penny, haven’t got a dime
But I know how to have a good old time
I ain’t got a dollar, baby when I do
I’m gonna go and spend it all on you

When I get the money we can run away
Sing a little song ‘bout yesterday
They’re never gonna catch me long as I’m alive
You and me together, we’ll survive

Honey in the pantry, put it in the tea
Stir it with a spoon for you and me
Sitting in the parlor, waiting for your ma
You’re the best gal I ever saw

When we get the money we can run away
I don’t give a holler what they say
They’re never gonna find us till the day we die
You and me together, we’ll get by

Putting on your dress and looking mighty fine
Lacquering my shoes until they shine
You can have my heart if I can have your hand
I can make your daddy understand

I haven’t got a penny, haven’t got a dime
But I know how to have a good old time
I ain’t got a dollar, baby when I do
I’m gonna go and spend it all on you

Break the lock box, get the gold
Just as much as I can hold
Out the door, to the car
Oh, together, we’ll go far

This is a holdup, momma
I was born to be a bank robber
Hand over your last gold dollar

This is a holdup, momma
(This is a holdup)
This is a holdup, momma
(This is a holdup)

They’re never gonna catch me long as I’m alive
You and me together, we’ll survive
