If I Don't Get Some Money 1922

Jones was in a pickle without doubt.
Jonesy turned his pockets inside out,
and not a cent was there,
he said, "Ain't it fair?
At my house at twenty six
the broker's waiting there!"

And if I don't get some money,
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
Yes, if I don't get some money,
I think we'll have a storm, don't you?
Oh Lordy Songs say keep a smiling,
soon the sun will shine for you.
But if the sun don't soon start shining
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?

And if I don't get some money,
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
Yes, if I don't get some money,
I think we'll have a storm, don't you?
Oh Lordy Songs say keep a smiling,
soon the sun will shine for you.
But if the sun don't soon start shining
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?

To make a book Brown went to Epsom Downs,
in his satchel Brown had three half crowns.
He laid one horse just one
then he had some fun.
and he said, when the horse rolled in
at sixty six to one.

And if I don't get some money,
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
Yes, if I don't get some money,
I think we'll have a storm, don't you?
Oh Lordy Songs say keep a smiling,
soon the sun will shine for you.
But if the sun don't soon start shining
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?

And if I don't get some money,
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
Yes, if I don't get some money,
I think we'll have a storm, don't you?
Oh Lordy Songs say keep a smiling,
soon the sun will shine for you.
But if the sun don't soon start shining
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?

Juggs one morn for breakfast had cocaine,
talking to an old gent in the train.
He said though odd it sounds
I'm all out of bounds,
for in the bank I've only got
two hundred million pounds.

And if I don't get some money,
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
Yes, if I don't get some money,
I think we'll have a storm, don't you?
Oh Lordy Songs say keep a smiling,
soon the sun will shine for you.
But if the sun don't soon start shining
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?

And if I don't get some money,
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
Yes, if I don't get some money,
I think we'll have a storm, don't you?
Oh Lordy Songs say keep a smiling,
soon the sun will shine for you.
But if the sun don't soon start shining
what'll I what'll I what'll I what'll I do?
