[Intro]
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight and sealed)
(Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill)
(Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill)

[Verse 1]
Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova
I have been dyin' 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 gangster action king
He knows that I be selling the body
My man the best 'cause he knows what’s up

[Pre-Chorus]
He knows it’s a big bad world, knows that I’m a good girl
He understands the sale of self
(Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill)

[Chorus]
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Yeah, yeah)
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk)

[Verse 2]
J is a romantic roller coaster
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 come-back king
He knows that I be lookin' to die
He says, baby, pay respect to the high

[Pre-Chorus]
He knows it’s a big bad world, knows that I’m a good girl
He understands the sale of self
Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill

[Chorus]
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk)
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk)

[Bridge]
I like your ultraviolent swing
I like it when you treat me mean
You turn my mood from black to blue
I like your ultraviolent swing
I like it when you treat me mean
You turn my mood from black to blue
(Yeah)
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in)

[Chorus]
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Yeah, yeah)
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk)
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothin' more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk)
