There [D] was a door, [D#m] leaning on the back door.
[Em] A couple of girls [B] that had their eyes on a couple of girls
[C] and their eyes were stating that they [A] were waiting
to get their hands on some [D] easy money.
They flipped a dime,
one said, well I'll take heads this time.
[G] One step up, one step back,
one [B] loosened her shoulder strap and she [E] couldn't speak
and her knees [C#] got weak and she could almost taste it
and it was [D] easy money.
There was an old black cat
that was sitting in an old black Cadillac
and [G] the door smelled sweet.
[B] So she curls up at her boyfriend's feet
[E] and she says, I got a plan.
[A] Listen, Sam, how'd you like to make some [D] easy money?
[B] He said, yeah, oh yeah.
[Em] Just tell me what you want me to do.
[E] And she said, baby, you can trust me,
baby, but you must [A] be hiding in my room
at a quarter to two.
[D] Well, the cat tell the boy,
come [Am] up to the room and play [G] with my toys.
But the judge set the bait
and she wasn't gonna sit [E] around and wait.
But this guy was [A] wise to all of the [C#] lies
and he [D] flies out the door with the easy money.
Cause there is an old man who's got money in his hand
[G] who got any of that bread being slow in the head.
The [E] easier it looks, the harder it [A] hooks.
There's no such [D] thing as easy money.
We [E] say [B] yes, oh yes.

[D] Saturday night, there was a terrible, [A#] terrible [G] fight
between two dames that were losing [Dm] the same [E] game.
It wasn't clear, but I [A] hear that somebody
was looking [D] for some easy money.
