You don't have to talk all night I'm a man who can't say no You don't have to twist my arm Just point me where you want to go Take me to the action Take me to the track Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back I've been working all my life Can't afford to wait Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late I want the easy Easy money Easy money I could get lucky Oh, things could go right I want the easy Easy money Easy money Maybe this one time Maybe tonight You don't have to try too hard I don't need a song and dance I don't need an invitation If you've got a game of chance Take me to the tables Take me to the fights Run me like the numbers Roll me like the dice When you're counting on a killing Always count me in Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win I want the easy Easy money Easy money I want the good times Oh, I never had I want the easy Easy money I want the good life I want it bad Easy money You say I fool myself But better me than being a fool for someone else I got a hot slot machine of a system Ready to go Easy money I got a one-track mind And a good reputation laying on the line I'll either come back a bum or a king Baby I don't know You don't have to start a fight I'm a man who can't say no If you've got a little risky business Just point me where you want to go Take me to the power Take me to the heat Take me to the cleaners If it's open to the street Something's got to pay off Something's got to break Someone's got a fortune that they're begging Me to take I want the easy Easy money Easy money I could get lucky Things could go right I want the easy Easy money Easy money Maybe just this time Oh maybe tonight Easy money Oh I don't want no hard cash I just want the easy money I could get lucky

    General Comment:One of the most outstanding breaks-in in BJ's history. This number is so good, that I think it needs time to be vindicated. The exceptional vocals here by Billy win over the lyrics. I keep "I want the good times I never had" as the strongest point of no return" Magnificent and ignored.

    General Comment:It's about gambling. Plain and simple... Was the theme song in the movie Easy Money with Rodney Dangerfield and Joe Pesci.
