| Ted Lewis |
| (Joe Young/Little Jack Little & John Siras) |
| I’m up in the world, |
| but I’d give the world to be where I used to be, |
| A heavenly nest, |
| where I rest the best, |
| means more than the world to me. |
| It’s only a shanty |
| in old Shanty Town |
| the roof is so slanty it touches the ground. |
| But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track, |
| like a millionaire’s mansion is calling me back. |
| I’d give up a palace if I were a king. |
| It’s more than a palace, it’s my everything. |
| There’s a queen waiting there with a silvery crown |
| in a shanty in old Shanty Town. |
