Composition
The song tells the story of a man who has run out of money, and hopes his woman will help him out:
- I was clean as a screen and so hard pressed
- I called the woman that I love best
In the chorus, he threatens to leave her if she doesn't help him out:
- Money Honey
- Money Honey
- Money Honey, if you want to get along with me
She is literally not buying, she has another man, one who already has money.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is my PRIDE, my damn’d, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19-20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such;Mor DIE—perplexing alternative!”
—Thomas Chatterton (1752–1770)
