Noirsville Tune of the Week

In keeping with the opening sequence of the film "Impulse"

we offer Rickie Lee Jones - Easy Money

There was a Joe, leanin' on the back door

A couple Jills that had their eyes on a couple bills

Their eyes was stayin', they was waitin' to get

Their hands on some easy money

They flipped a dime, one says

"Well, I'll take heads this time"

One stepped up, one stepped back

One loosened her shoulder strap

She couldn't speak, her knees got weak

She could almost taste that easy money

There was this old black cat

Which was sittin' in a old black Cadillac

And the Joe smelled sweet

So she curls up at her boyfriend's feet

She says "I got a plan, listen, Sam

How'd ya like to make some of that easy money?"

He say, "Yes, oh yes

Jus' tell me what you want me to do"

She said, "Baby, you can trust me, oh baby

But you must be hidin' in my room, quarter to two"

Well, the cat told the boy

"Come up to the room and play with my toy, honey"

But the Jill had set the bait

She wasn't gonna sit around and wait

But this guy was wise to all the lies

And he flies out the door with the easy money

'Cause there ain't no man

Who got the money in his hand

Who got any of that bread

By bein' slow in the head

The easier it looks, the hotter it hooks

There ain't no such thing as easy money

We say, "Yes, oh yes"

Saturday night

There was a terrible, terrible fight

Between two dames

Who was losin' the same game

It wasn't clear but I hear that somebody

Was lookin' for some easy money
