When I had a lots of money 
I had friends to give a good time 
I went out with my friends 
We drunk beer and whiskey all night 
The next time I take 'em out 
They didn't have a dime to spend 
I told my neighbors, I ain't gonna spend no money no more 
I love my neighbors, I can't spend no dime no more 
I works too hard for my money, to throw my money away 
My mama keep my money, I ain't gonna spend no money these days 
I love my neighbors, I love my neighbors 
But I have no dime to spend 
Well every Monday morning, my neighbor knockin on my door 
My neighbor done tell me, I want some ready dough 
Well I told my neighbor, can't spend no money no more 
Neighbor he got mad, and walked on away from my door
