VERSE 1
I can't go no place no more, no, no
I can't go no place no more, no, no
My allowance is getting kinds low
And my babe won't let the greens flow
And I'm depending
Yeah, I'm depending, 'cause my babe she's bringing in the dough
CHORUS
My baby, my baby, my baby's bring in the dough
My baby, my baby, my baby's bring in the dough
VERSE 2
I can't go to the Conrad Hilton and take a sauna and a shower no more
I can't go out and buy myself a burger and a cola now more

CHORUS
My baby, my baby, my baby's bring in the dough
My baby, my baby, my baby's bring in the dough
My baby, my baby, my baby's bring in the dough
