Lyrics
Verse 1
Cleaned the fenders
Rubbed the whitewalls twice
Mama wants a paycheck
Papa wants some peace and quiet
He is tired of the city
And the rent being too high
Pre-Chorus
But there is oil in my nails
Running past the local jail
Telling secrets to the street
Keeping cool in this summer heat
Chorus
Give me three big bills
Hand them over
Pack the leather
Move out faster
Hand them over
Move out faster
Verse 2
Jimmy has a favor
Tapped the window glass
Polished black sedan
Cutting through the park on grass
Business in the alleyway
Checking all the silver trunks
Pre-Chorus
Now there is grease on my coat
Writing out a dirty note
Taking orders from the boss
Better pray you do not get lost
Chorus
Give me three big bills
Hand them over
Pack the leather
Move out faster
Hand them over
Move out faster
Bridge
Working late for the man in charge
He stays small and I feel large
Shift the gear and floor it
Watch the red light flare
Chorus
Give me three big bills
Hand them over
Pack the leather
Move out faster
Hand them over
Move out faster
Chorus
Give me three big bills
Hand them over
Pack the leather
Move out faster
Hand them over
Move out faster
