Intro: (x8) Verse 1: () You just could not know, How long we tried, To see how this building, Looks inside. This must be a lucky day for me, Because the sign says, There's a vacancy. Bridge 1: Look I know you came a long way, But you made it just too late; So we had to give it to some-body else. Well I talked to you on the phone, Less than fifteen minutes ago; And you told me that it was cool. Verse 2: I graduated from Harvard U. My job is paying good money too. And if you check on my resume; You'll find they all, Wanted me to stay. Bridge 2: Well I can't take the time out, To check your credit card, 'Cos the com-puter, Just broke down to-day. Well I'll stop by here tomorrow, To com-plete our interview, But I know what you're gonna say. (I know what your bottomline is); Chorus 1: You might have the cash, But you cannot cash in your face; We don't want you living in here. Say you might have the cash, But you cannot cash in your face; We don't want you living in here. Break: Too-oo, too-oo... Too bad. Too-oo, too-oo.. Too sad. Interlude: (x2) Verse 3: () Our first child, Is due here any day; Due here any day, That's why we're desperate, For a place to stay. The lo-cation is, So perfect too, So please try to do, What you can do. Bridge 3: Well in this apartment complex, No children are allowed; And if you told me that, I could have saved you a-lot of time. Well I thought the Bill was passed, That said you could not discriminate? But I know some ex-cuse you'll find. (Because your bottom line is); Chorus 2: You might have the cash, But you cannot cash in your face; We don't want you living in here. Say you might have the cash, But you cannot cash in your face; We don't want you living in here. Coda: Aye, you might be a great doctor, You might be a great lawyer. You might possess the key to the city, Or maybe a poli-tician. You might have the cash, But you cannot cash in your face; We don't want you living in here. Say you might have the cash, But you cannot cash in your face; We don't want you living in here. (Repeat to Fade)
