Easy Money Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones

There was a Joe, leanin' on the back door 

A couple Jills that had their eyes on a couple bills 

Their eyes was stayin', they was waitin' to get 

Their hands on some easy money 

They flipped a dime, one says 

"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 

Which was sittin' in a old black Cadillac 

And the Joe smelled sweet 

So she curls up at her boyfriend's feet 

She says "I got a plan, listen, Sam 

How'd ya like to make some of that easy money?" 

He say, "Yes, oh yes 

Jus' tell me what you want me to do" 

She said, "Baby, you can trust me, oh baby 

But you must be hidin' in my room, quarter to two" 

Well, the cat told the boy 

"Come up to the room and play with my toy, honey" 

But the Jill had set the bait 

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 

'Cause there ain't no man 

Who got the money in his hand 

Who got any of that bread 

By 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 that somebody 

Was lookin' for some easy money
