I was walking on down the alley 
When a face 
I've never seen 
Came so from deep in the darkness 
And his mouth came on real mean 
And I saw that he'd been liquored 
And he staggered up to -- you know -- he staggered up to his feet 
And he said, "Boy, you'd better move real slow And gimme your money please." 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
Wasn't that strange 
Wasn't that strange indeed 
Wasn't that strange 
Wasn't that strange indeed 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
Being born and raised in 
New York There ain't nothing you won't see '
Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on 
And you know that's no place to be 
But my car broke down in the evening 
You know it just stopped stone cold 
Stopped stone cold in the street 
And a dirty mean man with a shot glass eye 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
Wasn't that strange 
Wasn't that strange indeed 
Wasn't that strange 
Wasn't that strange indeed 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
He said, "Gimme your money please."

And a dirty mean man with a shotgun in his hand 
He said, "Gimme your money please." 
He said, "Gimme your money please."

He said, "Gimme your money please." (Awww!)
