Strapped For Cash lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Well it was Saturday night, I was sitting in the kitchen

Checking out the women on Spanish television

Got a call from Paul who was just let out of prison

He said hey listen, there's something I'm missing

I said I'm on it, honest, it's on its way

You're gonna get your money in a couple of days, okay?

I'm just a little strapped for cash

Take it easy baby, cut me some slack, I said

I'm just a little strapped for cash

Very temporary, don't you worry 'bout that

Strapped for cash

So I headed out west to invest in the races

All the goddamn horses kept falling on their faces

Didn't fare much better at the Taj Mahal

Chalk it up to bad luck and free alcohol

And now I'm laying low, you know I'm trying to stall

But I don't know how much longer I can dodge the calls

Sayin'

I'm just a little strapped for cash

Don't you know I wouldn't do you like that

I'm just a little strapped for cash

Give me a minute you know you'll get it back

C'mon

Strapped for cash

Strapped for cash

Six bodybuilders pulled up in a Pinto

Next thing I know they're coming through the window

Hate to keep you waiting, I know times are hard

Now would you prefer a Visa or a MasterCard

Because I'm just a little strapped for cash

Take a seat, I'll be back in a flash, I said

I'm just a little strapped for cash

No need to have a heart attack

Bop shoo wop, bop bop shoo wop
