An' everybody ain't no deadbeat
But I just don't got the time to speculate

Gonna be late, you see
Anything other than a trade or a pawn
You got to have your cash at trader John's
Now, you name it an' I got it
Whatever be your shop
Now, if you want to try it
Just be prepared to buy it
Yeah ' cause I got it
Anything other than a trade or a pawn
You got to have your cash at trader John's

Just ah, have the green stuff with ya
Anything other than a trade or a pawn

You better have that stuff with ya when ya
