“Easy money”; that’s what she told me.

It’ll be so easy, like taking candy from a baby

Easy money; simplest thing you ever done

“Do this one thing for me baby, oh we’ll have lots of fun.”

She said, “The safe’s always full of money - the Old man don’t hear so good.”

“Safe’s always full of money - Old man don’t see so good.”

But she forgot to tell me ‘bout the big black dog

Chased me all around the neighborhood

He chased me high, he chased me low

Chased me every which way, oh, I tried to go

Ran down the alley, jumped the fence

Tried to keep runnin’ man, I had no defense

Didn’t seem like such Easy Money right about then

Well I tried to hide and I tried to run

Police man found me and pointed at me with his gun

He said, “Boy, ain’t no such thing as Easy Money”

“I can’t believe you fell for that!”

“We goin down to (insert local jail name),

I’m sure you know where that’s at.”

Well Judge Smith looked at me and he shook his head

“Boy, what’s wrong with you!? You must be poorly bred.

I’m gonna give you free accommodations, nice orange jumpsuit

and a little time in a cell.

Give you some time to think about what you gonna do from now.”

Easy money, that’s what she told me.

Easy money, she sounded so sincere.

If a pretty woman tells you it’s Easy Money

Stop and think

Maybe have another beer
