Hundred Dollar Bill
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova,
I have been dying for him to come over,
I'm in my party dress.
He say, "You such a mess".
I am the New Jersey Dance Queen,
He is the Construction King.
He knows that I be selling the body,
My man the best 'cause he knows what's up.
He knows it's a big bad world,
He knows that I'm a good girl.
He understands the sale of silk,
'Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill.
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Yeah.
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Ah.
J. is a romantic rollercoaster,
He don't do anything he supposed to,
I like 'em tough and mean,
Jim is the worst that I've ever seen.
I am the trailer park darling
He is the one-time comeback king,
He knows that I be looking to die,
He says, "Baby, pay respect to the high".
I'm invincible,
'Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill.
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
I like your ultra-violent swing,
I like it when you treat me mean,
You turn my mood from black to blue, ooh.
___?
I love you then, you'll always know
I love you then, you'll always know
But there's nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Oh, oh, whoo)
And I need you Jimmy, and I need you Jimmy.
I, no.
I have been dying for him to come over,
I'm in my party dress.
He say, "You such a mess".
I am the New Jersey Dance Queen,
He is the Construction King.
He knows that I be selling the body,
My man the best 'cause he knows what's up.
He knows it's a big bad world,
He knows that I'm a good girl.
He understands the sale of silk,
'Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill.
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Yeah.
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Ah.
J. is a romantic rollercoaster,
He don't do anything he supposed to,
I like 'em tough and mean,
Jim is the worst that I've ever seen.
I am the trailer park darling

He says, "Baby, pay respect to the high".

'Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill.
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill

Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill

Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Oh, oh, whoo)
And I need you Jimmy, and I need you Jimmy.
I, no.
