《A Five Pound Box of Money》歌词

[00:00:00] A Five Pound Box of Money - Pearl Bailey

[00:00:08] Hey Santa Claus

[00:00:10] You want to make me happy this year?

[00:00:13] Listen to me honey

[00:00:16] Give Pearl something that would be of some use to me

[00:00:18] Like a five pound box of money

[00:00:22] Now there's a little gift

[00:00:24] That's loaded with

[00:00:27] Lots of sentiment

[00:00:29] See when I get blue Santa

[00:00:32] I'm gonna think of you

[00:00:33] But at the same time have a little change to pay my rent

[00:00:36] You see

[00:00:38] Now money isn't everything

[00:00:41] There's no two ways about it

[00:00:44] But while we're here Santa dear

[00:00:48] It's much better with it than without it

[00:00:52] So really I could be real good

[00:00:57] And not do nothin' funny

[00:01:00] If you do like I ask you

[00:01:01] Stop by right on Christmas night

[00:01:03] And try me try me try me on that money

[00:01:05] Just try me honey

[00:01:08] Santa can you hear me?

[00:01:11] Have you listened to everything I've been asking you about?

[00:01:13] Listen honey Santa dear

[00:01:17] The New Year would be so bright and sunny

[00:01:22] Just bring me that simple thing that I've been speaking to you about

[00:01:25] And bring me a five pound box of money

[00:01:28] That's all that's all

[00:01:30] It would be so heavenly

[00:01:33] And help me meet both ends yes indeed

[00:01:38] But old Pearl been needin' bad

[00:01:41] A five pound box of tens

[00:01:42] Really how much could that weigh?

[00:01:44] I don't want the whole money tree

[00:01:48] What good is that big thing to me?

[00:01:52] You keep the branches the trunk and the roots

[00:01:55] 'Cause all I want is just a little bit of the fruit

[00:01:59] So if you wanna be sure I'll be yours

[00:02:02] Little old honey honey bunny

[00:02:06] You can start me off on Christmas night

[00:02:09] With a five pound no

[00:02:12] I better increase that ten pounds

[00:02:16] No I better beg big while I'm beggin'

[00:02:19] 'Cause you know I might not catch you next year

[00:02:21] 'Cause sometimes people go out and you don't see them no more

[00:02:24] So bring the money

[00:02:26] Santa

[00:02:27] Do you hear me?

[00:02:28] Five bring me some money woes

[00:02:30] Santa

[00:02:31] And what I wanna hear is

[00:02:32] Die for you kid
