The "Bandanna Girls" were Mozelle France and May Hopkins. They recorded four sides in 1939. According to Steve Tracy's notes for Document CD DOCD -5468, their nom de disque "may be related in some way to the Boise De Legge show Bandanna Babies", which featured Ma Rainey in 1930".

Money is honey, where can my honey be? Money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me When I woke up this mornin', told my daddy I was through Said 'Get yourself some greebacks daddy and I'll come back to you' My money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me Buy yourself those sweepstakes tickets and if your horses win I'll tear the door down daddy just to let you come back in My money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me I try to be particular about my kind of man But it won't make no difference if his money's in his hand My money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me His age won't be important, he can be real young or old Just long's he has some pockets, where I can dig my gold My money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me (piano solo) Money is honey, where can my honey be? Money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me Talk about your thrills and chills from now on until The thrills will change to chills unless you show some dollar bills My money is honey, where can my honey be? If I had my money, my honey sho' would be with me

Part time papa, don't mean nobody no good (2x) Wouldn't treat you right even if he could Cheat you in the kitchen, cheat you in the hall If he couldn't cheat you baby he wouldn't want you at all He's a part time papa, don't mean nobody no good Wouldn't treat you right even if he could See him on the corner, dressed up mighty fine He's not thinkin' of you baby, he's just countin' off your time He's a part time papa, don't mean nobody no good Wouldn't treat you right even if he could - guitar solo - Part time papa, don't mean nobody no good Part time papa, don't mean nobody no good Wouldn't treat you right even if he could He don't want no one woman, not even three or four Cause he's got a million women and he wants a million more He's a part time papa, don't mean nobody no good Wouldn't treat you right even if he could He'll work you in the summer, he'll work you when it's cold And if the chance come baby he will make you sell your soul He's a part time papa, don't mean nobody no good Wouldn't treat you right even if he could - piano solo - All you part time papas you better change your way All you part time papas you better change your way If you don't change papa you can't last us your day
