Easy Money

Way up North, there's a whole lotta money

They got gals doin' things they don't wanna do

They know pals on the force and the government they pay

They push pain to earn easy money

Go downtown, just to buy them a honey for the day

Lonesome Joe has a store on the corner

He's been there many years, workin' night and day

He's alright, left alone, long as he does what they say

Rainy days that used to be sunny

Every week, he pays easy money and he prays that they'll stay away

In ol' New York

Everyday people

Never talk

Of what they'll do one day

And in New York

They're layin' out easy money

Way down south there's a scam they got goin'

They got guys from the east, north and everywhere

Pushin' girls on the street, who are paying to be there

They own folks who should know much better

They sold out, they keep gettin' fatter and don't care

They just don't care

In ol' New York

Everyday people

Never talk

Of what they'll do one day

And in New York

They're livin' on easy money

It's your money
