  • Take the money and run
    Like a thief across a neighbor's yard
    Take the money and run
    Like a ghost out in the night.

    Take the money and run
    'Cause you found out that it wasn't hard
    To take the money and run
    Because you were out of sight.

    You cannot tell me any more lies
    You cannot pull the wool over my eyes
    Take the money and run
    Take the money and run

    'Cause the summer sun is sinking down
    Take the money and run
    'Cause the four winds may not blow
    Take the money and run

    'Cause the verdict has been handed down
    Take the money and run
    Because there's no place left to go.
    You cannot give me any more time.

    You've already taken too much of mine
    Take the money and run
    Take the money and run
    Like a thief across a neighbor's yard

    Take the money and run
    Like a dog out in the night
    Take the money and run
    Because you found out that it wasn't hard

    To take the money and run
    Because you were out of sight.
    You cannot give me any more time.
    You've already taken too much of mine
