Easy Money

Easy Money - Rickie Lee Jones

There was a Joe

Leanin' on the back door

A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills

Their 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 loosened her shoulder strap

She couldn't speak

Her knees got weak

She could almost taste that easy money

There was this old black cat

Sittin' in an old black cadillac

The Joe smelled sweet

She curled up at her boyfriend's feet

She said "I got a plan

Listen Sam how'd ya like to

Make some that Easy Money "

He say "Yes Oh Yes

Jus' tell me what you want me to do "

She says "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 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 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 hotter it hooks

There ain't no such thing as easy money

We say "Yes Oh Yes "

Saturday night

There was a terrible terrible fight

Between two dames

Who was losin' the same game

It wasn't clear

But I hear somebody

Was lookin' for some easy money
