| 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 combination’s
|
| 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! |
