I Had a Hundred Dollars Lyrics by Mark Stephen Jones

Self Made Man

2007

[Verse 1]
Well, I had a hundred dollars to my name
I bought me a ticket to the baseball game
After one cold hotdog and two worn drabs
My team lost, and I walked off with barely half
[Verse 2]
But I had fifty dollars to my name
I bought some flowers and I jumped on the cross-town train
Went to see my sweetheart with the long blonde hair
But I was too late
'Cause [vet and a snake?]
Was already there
[Chorus]
She wanted to go steady
And I said I wasn’t ready
Now I'm not her sugar daddy anymore
My little honey bunny
Said she needs a man with money
And I told her that I wasn't that poor
[Verse 3]
’Cause I had twenty dollars to my name
I was walking down Broadway, when it started to rain
So I dove in to the little neighborhood club
But man will I admit
Me and that brunette
Were falling in love
[Chorus]
But she wanted to go steady
And I said I wasn't ready
Now I'm not her sugar daddy anymore
She thought that I was funny
'Til I tried to borrow some money
Man, you should've seen her running out the door
[Verse 4]
Well, I got about a dollar to my name
I hoarded up a bottle of the best champagne
They went and called the police when I couldn't pay
They sped a car [?] up
I said "Slap on the cuffs
Honey take me away"
So all in all, I'd have to call it a pretty good day
