They call her a hundred dollar lady I don't really know what she's worth But ever since she walked Into this honky tonk I've counted all my money wantin' her Two fives, three ones, and two quarters And this cold gla** of beer I just paid for And I could pay the rest first thing monday Ah, honey have mercy on a poor boy, But she said: No down payments, no checks or credit cards I'm sorry but business is business I'm a workin' girl and you know times are hard But honey I'm off on wednesdays Well I bought a few rounds And she took whiskey Gusto on tap ain't good enough She was wearin' high heeled boots And tight fittin' two piece levis
So manhattan's more her kind of stuff Three ones, two dimes, four nickles I'll go without lunch and smokes tomorrow But she said no again to my question She likes me but she told me she was sorry She still said: Hundred dollar lady No down payments, no checks or credit cards I'm sorry but business is business I'm a workin' girl and you know times are hard But honey I'm off on wednesdays They call her a hundred dollar lady I don't really know what she's worth I've had me some of those Hundred dollar daydreams But none of them can come up to her No fives, no ones, just three nickles
