Easy Money Songtext
von Billy Joel

Uh!
Alright!
Aaaah hah!
Uh!

You don′t have to talk all night
I'm a man who can′t say no
You don't have to twist my arm
Just point me where you want to go
Take me to the action
Take me to the track

Take me to a party if they're bettin′ in the back
I′ve been working all my life
Can't afford to wait
Let me call my wife so I can tell her I′ll be late
I want the easy - mmm


Easy money
Easy money
I could get lucky
Oh, things could go ri-e-iight
Oh oh oh!

I want the easy - uh
Easy money
Easy money
Maybe this one time

Maybe tonight
Aaah hah!
You don't have to try too hard
I don′t need a song and dance

I don't need an invitation
If you′ve got a game of chance
Take me to the tables

Take me to the fights
Run me like the numbers
Roll me like the dice
When you're counting on a killing
Always count me in


Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win
I want the easy - uh
Easy money
Easy money

I want the good times
Oh, I never ha-e-ad
Ah!
I want the easy - uh
Easy money

Oh - oh
I want the good life - mmm
I want it bad
Easy money
You say I fool myself

But better me than being a fool for someone else
I got a hot slot machine of a system
Ready to go-oo-oh
Easy money

Ah!
I got a one-track mind
And a good reputation laying on the line
I′ll either come back a bum or a king

Baby I don′t know
Ahhh hah! Uh!
You don't have to start a fight
I′m a man who can't say no

If you′ve got a little risky business
Just point me where you want to go
Take me to the power
Take me to the heat
Take me to the cleaners

If it's open to the street
Something′s got to pay off
Something's got to break
Someone's got a fortune that they′re begging me to take
I want the easy - uh

Easy money
Easy money
I could get lucky
Things could go ri-e-ight
Oh oh oh
Oh I want the easy - Ah! uh
Easy money
Easy money
Maybe just this time
Oh maybe tonight
Easy money
Oh I don′t want no hard cash
I just want easy money
Oh hoh!
I could get lucky
Easy money
Oh!
Gotta - gotta - gotta - gotta - gotta
Ah
Oh
I gotta go now, baby!
