Keb' Mo' - Soon As I Get Paid Lyrics






Ring a ling with the telephone
Is the man of the house at home?
Your master card is over due
Mr. Mo we need a payment from you
Right now, right now, right away
Look here
I ain't got nothing to send you today
But I'ma give you all your money
Soon as I get paid
Soon as I get paid

Well, now the joint was jumping
It was Saturday night
Her hair was long
And the dress was tight
I looked at her
She looked at me
And the champagne stared flowing
To a quarter to three, yeah yeah, oh yeah
To quarter to three
Look Mr Bartender
I'm gonna make it okay
I'll give you all your money
Soon as I get paid
Soon as I get paid

Monday morning, money gone
It's a dog gone shame
Don't worry, I get you straight, you'll be fine
You know what, you'll get yours, when I get mine
Uh, whoa, oh, got a letter from the IRS
Your tax return is a terrible mess
We want our money, we don't like to wait
Please come an see us on such and such date
Right now, oh yeah, right away

Well, I ain't got nothin' to send you today
But I'ma give ya all your money
Soon as I get paid
Yeah, soon as I get paid
Well, well, soon as I get paid
Thursday and Friday evening
Soon as I get paid
Better catch me before Monday
Soon as I get paid
Oh yeah, soon as I get paid
You heard me
Soon as I get paid
Soon as I get paid

    IN my opinion, (which no one asked me) Keb' Mo' is the best blues and guitar man since B.B. King passed. Can't ignore Buddy Guy, but Keb' has a special talent on the guitar, any of them.

    J.... S....

    Mo is great, no doubt about it. Take a couple of minutes Mr. Stanfill and listen to what B.B. King had to say about my number one guitar player, Mr. Derek Trucks. It's at around the 5-minute mark of the following video. Still gives me chills when I watch it. The great man passing the torch to the new King. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS0NHlWgi5w

    J.... S....

    First time I saw Keb Mo was on Austin city limits a few years back and now my wife and me can't get enough.We have most of his music now.I looked up all his albums in Joel Whitburns 6th edition of billboard albums and found out all about Keb's music.This fabulous book has all the info a music buff could want ,every band that ever had a hit album on Billboard ,their history and all the songs listed on each album dating back 50 years .Keb Mo was born in L..A. and is a double Grammy winner for best contemporary blues album in 1996 and 1998.

  23. D.... N....

    Only just discovered this guy!... Superb!

  24. K.... D....

    We both love ya music... Tom  & Anne

  25. M.... W....

    Heard Keb' Mo for the first time at the 2014 NO Jazz Fest and instantly fell in love with the man and his music! He's the real thang!

  26. M.... S....

    I found out about Keb Mo when I had to learn a tune of his to play with a cover band. I'm so glad I took that gig just because I got to find about this brilliant man! If he comes to Michigan any time I'm around I would see him in a heartbeat.

  27. J.... P....
