Easy Money - Live 1979
There was a Joe
Leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills, as their eyes on a couple bills
And their eyes was statin'
That they're 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 loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn't speak and her knees got weak
Oh, she could almost taste that easy money
There was this old black cat
Who was sittin' in a old black Cadillac and the Joe smelled sweet
So she crawls up at her boyfriend's feet
She said, "I got a plan
Listen, Sam, how'd you like to make some of that easy money?"
He say, "Yes, oh, yes! Just tell me what you want me to do"
She said, "Baby, you can trust me
Baby, but you must be hidin' in my room at a quarter to two"
Well, the cat told the boy
"Come on up to the room and play with my toys, honey"
But 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 is no man who got all the money in his hand
Who got any of that bread by being slow in the head
The easier it looks, the hotter it hooks
There ain't no such thing as easy money, well
We say, "Yes, oh, yes" (oh, yes!)
(There you go, girl)
Saturday night, there was a terrible, terrible fight
Between two dames who are losin' the same game
It wasn't clear, but I hear that somebody was lookin' for some easy money
Thanks, thank you
Let's head out
Leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills, as their eyes on a couple bills
And their eyes was statin'
That they're 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 loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn't speak and her knees got weak
Oh, she could almost taste that easy money
There was this old black cat
Who was sittin' in a old black Cadillac and the Joe smelled sweet
So she crawls up at her boyfriend's feet
She said, "I got a plan
Listen, Sam, how'd you like to make some of that easy money?"
