I got on a streetcar one day, the conductor held out his hand

You can't get no free ride here, man don't you understand

You must have - stuff they call money

You must have - down in your pocket

You must have - the stuff they call money

Don't you can't ride on here



See the girl goin' down the street, she look so nice and neat

I looked around at my buddy, he say "You know that can't be beat"

But you must have - stuff they call money

You must have - down in your pocket

You must have - the stuff they call money

Don't you can't buy it in here



I asked a girl, let's have some fun, this is what she said

"If you ain't got no money, you cain't get in my bed"

Cause you must have - stuff they call money

You must have - down in your pocket

You must have - the stuff they call money

Don't you can't buy it in here



I went in a place last night, a man pulled up a gun

He said "sit quiet everybody, don't nobody run"

Cause you must have - stuff they call money

You must have - down in your pocket

You must have - the stuff they call money

Don't you can't stay in here



I went in a place last night, I went there with my friend

This is what the people said, don't never come back again

Cause you must have - stuff they call money

You must have - down in your pocket

You must have - the stuff they call money

Don't you can't stay in here
