Please give me money
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes
After all, it's only money
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes

Went to the welfare man
But he said they cut back on the government plan
I wrote to my congressman
But it came back postage due
So

Please give me money
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes
After all, it's only money
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes

I'll tell you my life story uh uh
For any small change uh, uh, uh
Oh well. God bless you anyway
Have a nice day

It's all about the Benjamins,
The Lincolns and the Washingtons

I used to have a guardian angel
But he got his wings and moved to Cozumel
If you want to get into Heaven, well,
You know you got to pay some dues
So won't you

Please give me money
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes
After all, it's only money (yes it is)
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes
Please give me money (brother won't you spare some money)
Baby needs a New pair of Shoes (all for the little bitty baby)
Please
