1.  Willy, Willy, he's got lots of money.


    He's a high roller.  He's got padded pockets.

             D
    He's got tons of dough.

                  A
    And when he's out walking with his arms loaded full of foxy women
	
                              D
    who are just waiting to...you know.
	
        E       A       F#m        A
    But Willy remembers his humble past.

        E         A        D            E
    And when he remembers, he hands out cash.
	

          D                     E                A
refrain:  I can't wait to get a blank check from Willy.

              F#m                G                   A
          I'm hanging around the places he's usually seen.
		
              D                     E                A
          Oh, I can't wait to get a blank check from Willy.
		
          E         A
          That's my dream.


2.  I buy all the papers to read all the columns to see if he's mentioned
    or if someone has seen him of late.
    And I've memorized all his addresses and his favorite clubs and
    his fancy cars and their license plates.
    I'm going to be wealthy, rolling in green.
    But right now I'm keeping both my palms clean.

refrain:

         ...that's my scene,  that's my scheme,  better than a job!
