Lyrics

[NOAH] Caroline took my money home My money home in her pocketbook I leave a quarter to see what will happen [CAROLINE] Quarter in the bleach cup, take it home [NOAH] I leave two more quarters to see what she'll do [CAROLINE] Quarters in the bleach cup, take 'em home [NOAH] Then I left a dollar bill in my pocket By mistake [CAROLINE] He left a dollar in his pocket A dollar bill [CAROLINE, spoken] Left this dollar in your pocket Mind your money Lucky for you I didn't take it [NOAH] Can I light your cigarette? [CAROLINE, spoken] No, you can't Now go on, get You ain't lighting no cigarettes Never again no more And if I catch you playing with matches [CAROLINE] I tell your mama [NOAH, spoken] My mama's dead! [CAROLINE, spoken] You hear what I said? Spend your money on them funny books And don't try out your dirty looks Now, you go on and get upstairs Out my basement [NOAH] I don't want a cigarette! Who cares? I leave another quarter [CAROLINE] I leave it in the bleach cup [NOAH] I leave another quarter [CAROLINE] Two quarters in the bleach cup I leave 'em be [NOAH] I leave another quarter Seventy-five cents [CAROLINE] And I am mean And I am tough But thirty dollars ain't enough No Thirty dollars and seventy-five cents
