Strapped For Cash Lyrics - Traffic And Weather - Fountains Of Wayne

Well it was Saturday night, I was sitting in the kitchen 

Checking out the women on Spanish television 

Got a call from Paul who was just let out of prison 

He said hey listen, there's something I'm missing 

I said I'm on it, honest, it's on its way 

You're gonna get your money in a couple of days, okay? 

I'm just a little strapped for cash 

Take it easy baby, cut me some slack, I said 

I'm just a little strapped for cash 

Very temporary, don't you worry 'bout that 

Strapped for cash 

So I headed out west to invest in the races 

All the goddamn horses kept falling on their faces 

Didn't fare much better at the Taj Mahal 

Chalk it up to bad luck and free alcohol 

And now I'm laying low, you know I'm trying to stall 

But I don't know how much longer I can dodge the calls 

Sayin' 

I'm just a little strapped for cash 

Don't you know I wouldn't do you like that 

I'm just a little strapped for cash 

Give me a minute you know you'll get it back 

C'mon 

Strapped for cash 

Strapped for cash 

Six bodybuilders pulled up in a Pinto 

Next thing I know they're coming through the window 

Hate to keep you waiting, I know times are hard 

Now would you prefer a Visa or a MasterCard 

Because I'm just a little strapped for cash 

Take a seat, I'll be back in a flash, I said 

I'm just a little strapped for cash 

No need to have a heart attack 

Bop shoo wop, bop bop shoo wop
