I don’t have any money baby
Ain’t got no place to go
If I get what I ask for mama
I might just die alone
I light my apartment by street light baby
And cover myself with dirt
After checking my account balance
I figure that’s all I’m worth

But when that holiday comes ’round

I don’t have any money baby
Ain’t got no money to show
I’ll take you out for a fancy dinner
If you pay when we go
‘Cause I don’t have any dollars baby
Ain’t got no place to go
If I get what I ask for mama
I might just die alone
