Rang a lang went the telephone
Is the man of the house at home
Your **** Card is over due
We need a payment from you, right now right away
Aint got nothin to send you today
But will send your money as "Soon As I Get Paid"
I made my bets and went to the bar
The joint was jumpin, it was Saturday night
Her legs were long and her dress was tight
Champagne started flowin until a quarter to 3
Looky here Mr. Bartender, don't worry
I'm gonna make it OK, I'll give you all your money
As "Soon As I Get Paid"
Monday Morning money gone, it's a doggone shame
Don't worry I'll get you straight
You'll get yours, when I get mine
Wha ohhhhh! Got a call from my local
I need my money and I don't like to wait
Right now, Right Away
But, I aint got nothin to send you today
I'll give you all your money.
As "Soon As I Get Paid"
Better catch me Friday evening
Because, come Monday
Money gone
It's a doggone shame!
