MONEY IN MY CLOTHES


as rec by The Mills Bros  
Feb 24th 1934 Los Angeles


Money in my clothes,
Music in my ears,
'Cause my baby loves me when I've got
Money in my clothes.

I've got money in my clothes,
(money in your clothes)
And music in my ears,
(music in your ears)
And love, oh love sweet love in my heart.
(oh, love is in your heart)

Now you can have my plough,
(you can have his plough)
'Cause I don't need it now!
(he don't need it now)
And Uncle Israel, take my donkey cart.
(oh, he's got your donkey cart)

Now I sold my clothes for forty dollars
And I sold my corn for less.
I'm gonna buy my Memphis gal
A brand new Beale Street dress.

And then I'm gonna go to town,
(oh, he's gonna go to town)
I'm gonna mooch around,
(gonna mooch around)
'Cause my baby loves me when I've got
Money in my clothes.
