Well it was Saturday night, I was sitting in the kitchen Checking out the women on Spanish television Got a call from Paul who was just let out of prison He said hey listen, there's something I'm missing I said I'm on it, honest, it's on its way You're gonna get your money in a couple of days, okay? I'm just a little strapped for cash Take it easy baby, cut me some slack, I said I'm just a little strapped for cash Very temporary, don't you worry 'bout that Strapped for cash So I headed out west to invest in the races All the goddamn horses kept falling on their faces Didn't fare much better at the Taj Mahal Chalk it up to bad luck and free alcohol And now I'm laying low, you know I'm trying to stall But I don't know how much longer I can dodge the calls Sayin' I'm just a little strapped for cash Don't you know I wouldn't do you like that I'm just a little strapped for cash Give me a minute you know you'll get it back C'mon Strapped for cash Strapped for cash Six bodybuilders pulled up in a Pinto Next thing I know they're coming through the window Hate to keep you waiting, I know times are hard Now would you prefer a Visa or a MasterCard Because I'm just a little strapped for cash Take a seat, I'll be back in a flash, I said I'm just a little strapped for cash No need to have a heart attack Bop shoo wop, bop bop shoo wop
