Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ring-a-ling with the telephone
Is the man of the house at home?
Your MasterCard is overdue
Mr. Mo', we need a payment from you
[Verse 2]
Right now, right now, right away
Lookie here, I ain't got nothing to send you today
But I'ma give you all your money
Soon as I get paid
Soon as I get paid
[Verse 3]
Well, now the joint was jumpin', it was Saturday night
Her hair was long and the dress was tight
I looked at her, she looked at me
And the champagne started flowin' till a quarter to three
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Till a quarter to three
Look, Mr. Bartender, I'm gonna make it okay
I'll give you all your money
Soon as I get paid
Soon as I get paid
[Verse 5]
Monday morning, money gone
It's a dog gone shame
Don't worry, I'll get you straight
You'll be fine, you know what
You'll get yours when I get mine
[Verse 6]
Got a letter from the IRS
Sayin' your tax return is a terrible mess
We want our money, we don't like to wait
Please come in and see us on such and such date
[Verse 7]
Right now, oh, yeah, right away
Well, I ain't got nothing to send you today
But I'ma give you all your money
Soon as I get paid
[Verse 8]
Yeah, soon as I get paid
Well, well, soon as I get paid
First thing Friday evening
Soon as I get paid
[Verse 9]
Better catch me before Monday
Soon as I get paid
Oh, yeah, soon as I get paid
You heard me
Soon as I get paid
Soon as I get paid
