Are you gonna chase away the blues? I don't want no No broke man Hanging around here And bringing me down here I need a little help When the bills come due Everything costs money And honey I do too Somebody said you got paid today But ain't no eagle Blew my way Now what you're going to say? - Sax Solo (Bill Easley, tenor sax) - I can't stand No broke man Taking up all of my time Never bringing in a dimе I need a little nest egg To roost upon Givе it up somethin’ Or get yourself gone Talk is cheap but it don't mean nothing Show me the money if you want my loving Child, I'm so sick and tired of broke men I can't stand a broke man Got to pay your own way baby if you’re living’ with him I call it “supplemental income” This is just a small it is honey But I’ll tell you what can do Bring it to mama, baby let ME handle the money Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute Now don't tell me you got an excuse again Now your check is already two weeks late Oh, I - what do you mean?! I don't care how much you had to pay the doctor for a dose of Viagra What is Viagra gonna do for you That you (didn’t already early give to you anyway)? {unintelligible} Well I'll tell you what to do Give me the check, let me take a look of this sum Wait! What do you mean you gonna post-date it for two weeks? Are you crazy? Wait a minute, let me take a real good look at this Give me my glasses, let me see this What bank is this written on? The Bank of Australia? You must be silly You know what I think? I think what we oughta do it's just You and I together Let's go up here to the ATM machine Because this little bit of money that you gonna give me I know that you can go to the automated teller and get that And on the way we can pass by that lady’s house On the right hand side of the street Where that little boys always sitting on the step You know that child, sho’ look like you I swear, the more I look at that baby the more I’m convinced You know a little more about this than you’re saying And he’s just like you, he’s got your attitude I tried to talk to him the other day I asked him for a couple of pieces of popcorn outta his bag You know he had the nerve to tell me “I got to keep this, cause that’s all I got” He got it from you, he’s CHEAP! Yeah that’s your baby You had something to do with that Now you telling me - uh, hurry up C’mon walk a little faster All that Viagra you paid for Should help you… [Fade out] << [Transcribed 22Mar2023\caj]
