"If You're Going To The City" lyrics

"If You're Going To The City"
(originally by Mose Allison)

If you're goin' to the city
You better have some cash
If you're goin' to the city
You better have some cash
'Cause the people in the city
They don't take no trash

If you're goin' to the city
You better bolt your door
If you're goin' to the city
You better bolt your door
They'll take all what you got
And come back for more

In the city, in the city
In the city, in the city
In the city, pretty baby
In the city

If you're goin' to the city
There's one thing I hope
If you're goin' to the city
There's one thing I hope
Don't take money from a woman
Or mess around with dope
Or mess around with dope
Don't mess around with dope
Stay its cool
Alright
