Take the joker and run

Hoot hoo

This here's a story 'bout Billy
Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high
And watch the tube
And here's what happened when they
Decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run
Hoot hoot hoo go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run (Hoot hoot hoo)
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run (Hoot hoot hoo)

Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly
What the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off other people's taxes

Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up with her
The very next day they got the money
Hey you know they got away
They headed down South and
They're still running today, singin'

Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run (Hoo hoo hoo)
Go on, take the money and run (A ooh, Lord)
Go on, take the money and run (Hoo hoo hoo)

Yeah, yeah go on, take the money and run
(yeah, yeah, Hoo hoo hoo)
Go on, take the money and run (A ooh, Lord)
Go on, take the money and run
(yeah, yeah, Hoo hoo hoo)
Go on, take the money and run (A ooh, Lord)
