Mose Allison - If You're Goin' to the City lyrics

If you're up goin' to the city You better have some cash If you're up goin' to the city You better have some cash With all the people of the city Don't mesh around with trash And when you get up get to the city You better lock your door And when you get up get to the city You better lock your door You know they take what you got, boy And then they laugh for more And when you get up get to the city You better learn to shout And when you get up get to the city You better learn to shout So if you don't stand up an holler You gonna get left out Instrumental break And if you stay up in the city There's just two things I hope I said if you stay up in the city There's just two things I hope That you don't take money from a woman And you don't start messin' 'round with dope
