Well me and my baby we went out the other night
It was a Saturday evening and it felt real right
We went to a Roadhouse on the outskirts of town
There was a Blues Band playin', really layin' it down
They wouldn't take my credit card to put the cover charge on
That's what you do when the money's all gone
We got out of there, went to my local saloon
They were rockin' and a rollin' all around the room
My baby said to me I really wanna dance
I can feel my hips movin' I think I'm ready for romance
I went to the juke box but couldn't buy a song
That's what you do when the money's all gone
I try real hard workin' all the time
I'm pinchin my pennies but I can't save a dime
I'm lookin for a good time, that ain't no sin
Baby won't you tell me when my ship comes in
Well I had no money and it made me feel low
I couldn't dance with my baby cause I had no dough
She winked at me and said I've got an idea
Let's get our stuff together and get on out of here
We're gonna go to my room and put the low lights on
That's what you do when the money's all gone
That's what you do when the money's all gone
That's what you do when the money's all gone
People listen to me when I sing this song
That's what you do when the money's all gone
Take your baby to her room and put the low lights on
That's what you do when the money's all gone
