Broke by Wilbert Harrison and His Kansas City Playboys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are okay
I told you I am broke
We are okay
Understand me, girl, I'm broke
I need some money, too
Believe me that’s no joke

[Verse 2]
When I had lots of money
My so-called friends would come around
When I had lots of money
My so-called friends would come around
Now, that I am broke
All of my so-called friends have put me down

[Bridge 1]
I had a-many so-called friends
Who would answer my call
Now, that I am broke
I can't find them at all
[Verse 3]
We are okay
Understand me, girl, I'm broke
I need some money, too
Believe me that’s no joke
And I'm not lyin' either, yeah

[Saxophone Solo]
Ah, but you know, yeah
Mercy!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge 2]
While I was spendin' my money
I didn't care
My so-called friends
Were ev'rywhere

[Verse 3]
We are okay
Understand me, girl, I'm broke
If I get a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it ’til the eagle grin

[Outro]
If I get a dollar again
I’m gonna squeeze it 'til the eagle grin
If I get a dollar again
I’m gonna squeeze it 'til the eagle grin
If I get a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it 'til the eagle grin
