I've Got Five Dollars

Lyrics

Mister Shylock was stingy
 I was miserly too.
 I was more selfish
 and crabby than a shellfish.
 Oh, dear, it's queer
 what love can do!
 I'd give all my possessions
 for you
 I've got five dollars
 I'm in good conditions
 and I've got ambition
 that belongs to you.
 Six shirts and collars
 debts beyond endurance
 on my life insurance
 that belongs to you!
 I've got a heart
 that must be spurtin'!
 Just be certain
 I'll be true
 Take my five dollars!
 Take my shirt and collars!
 Take my heart and hollers!
 "Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"
 I've got five dollars
 eighty-five relations
 two lace combinations
 they belongs to you!
 Two coats with collars
 Ma and Grandma wore'em
 all the moths adore 'em
 they belongs to you!
 I've got two lips
 that care for mating
 therefore waiting
 will not do!
 Take my five dollars!
 Take my shirt and collars!
 Take my heart and hollers!
 "Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"
