Off-Broadway Musical (2010) The Scottsboro Boys - Financial Advice Lyrics
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) WHEN YOUR BILLS AIN’T PAID AND THE GOIN’S ROUGH AND YOUR BANKBOOK SAYS YOU AIN’T GOT ENOUGH, LET ME TELL YOU, SONNY THERE’S NOTHIN’ LIKE JEW MONEY
RUBY I told you, I lied! Those boys never jazzed me! You think I couldn’t make my own money If I wanted to – from men just like you.
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) WHEN THERE AIN’T NO CASH FOR THE DAYS AHEAD AND YOU GOT NO JOB AND YOU WISH YOU WAS DEAD THERE’S ONE SOLUTION, HONEY GO GET YOU SOME JEW MONEY
RUBY What are you talking about! We made it all up! I don’t even know what a Jew looks like.
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) THEY’VE GOT IT ALL THEY HIDE IT WELL THEY MUST HAVE MADE A PACT WITH THE DEVIL IN HELL WITH ALL THEIR GOLD I JUST CAN’T SEE WHY SOME OF IT SHOULD NOT BELONG TO YOU AND ME
RUBY This lie ain’t for sale! And if it was, do you think I’d sell out for this sorry-ass grey hat and grey coat?
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) SO, IF THAT IS THE WAY YOU FEEL GO OUT AND BORROW, BEG OR STEAL AND ONCE YOU GET THEIR MONEY HERE’S MY ADVICE TO YOU KEEP THAT MONEY BUT GET RID OF THAT JEW
RUBY I lied because Victoria told me to. I was scared. Why did everybody believe me when I was telling a lie, but nobody believes me when I’m telling the truth?
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) ONCE YOU GET THEIR MONEY HERE’S MY ADVICE TO YOU TAKE THAT MONEY
RUBY I don’t take anything I don’t make.
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) GRAB THAT MONEY
RUBY Yeah, grab this.
ATTORNEY GENERAL (MR. BONES) KEEP THAT MONEY BUT LOSE THAT JEW –
RUBY Stop! STOP! STOP!!! I lied! I said I was sorry! Why don’t nobody believe me?
