There킴 s a rumour going round says you’re gonna split,
they say you’re going away, it킴s a midnight blitz,
but thereí‚´s only good in leaving with a suitcase full of load,
‘cause where킴s all the good times and the pocket full of I.O.U.s !
Take the cash, doní‚´t let them pay you in kind,
take the cash before they change their minds,
and letí‚´s see the colour of the money â€" take the cash !
Ití‚´s a secret operation, doní‚´t want this getting out,
so watch it, watch it, watch it, if the payment doesní‚´t bounce,
ití‚´s the sweetness of the ready, makes the bell ring on the till,
and if they say they pay next week, you know: they never will.
Take the cash, doní‚´t let them pay you in kind,
take the cash before they change their minds,
and letí‚´s see the colour of the money â€" take the cash !
And if they try to tell you thereí‚´s a cheque in the post,
you know, you know, you know that you can take it as a joke.
Take the cash, doní‚´t let them pay you in kind,
take the cash before they change their minds,
and letí‚´s see the colour of the money !
Ití‚´s a heavy operation, got to do the job and run,
so doní‚´t pretend you trust, and get the money down up front,
‘cause it킴s the sweetness of the ready, makes the bell ring on the till,
and if they say they pay next week, you know they never will.
Take the cash, doní‚´t let them pay you in kind,
take the cash before they change their minds,
and letí‚´s see the colour of the money - - - take the cash !
Take the cash â€" take the K.A.S.H.
