Lyrics

Looka here, huh

Come on, huh, yeah, come on

Come on, huh, yeah, come on

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

Your mama gotta be fine

You probably breast-fed you

'Cause you look all healthy

With your chi-chi pretty eyes

Put it on, you probably don't sit (Baby)

Uh, with the swerve in your hip

Order, "Can I get a drink?"

Yeah, yes you can

Pull the bar from your purse

Tip starts singing my shit

With the chorus first

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

You like to be in the 'Lo

With all the major figures and

That's alright

You like to hang out, shake that thang

And that's alright

Girl got your own thang

You know everybody high class

Mediocre, the riff-raff

Love is the root politic

Read between the paragraph

You know what you make after taxes

You like to get f-free

You been to Cuba

And you don't watch TV

You only get greedy

For the power of the P

And me now

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

You like to be in the 'Lo

With all the major figures and

That's alright

You like to hang out, shake that thang all night

And that's alright

How that feel? (How that feel?)

What you feel? (What you feel?)

I got feel (I'm tellin' you, baby)

Looka here

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

Ooh, hey, looka here

What you got? Come on, yeah, looka here

I like the way you switch when you walk by

I do everything you know that you wanna try

And don't be ashamed

'Cause I can make you feel real good

So grab your ass, I mean that purse, ha

Hit me with that chorus first, check, uh

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

You like to be in the 'Lo

With all the major figures and

That's alright

You like to hang out, shake that thang

And that's alright

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

You like to be in the 'Lo

With all the major figures and

That's alright

You like to hang out, shake that thang all night

And that's alright

Yeah, come on, come on

Yeah, I said that's alright

Come on, uh, yeah

I said that's alright

Woo, in the pocket, make it swing

My thing, get it

You like to have money in your pocketbook

That's alright

Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones

And that's alright

You like to be in the 'Lo

With all the major figures and

That's alright

You like to hang out, shake that thang all night

And that's alright
