ELLA FITZGERALD - I've Got Five Dollars lyrics

rate me

Mister shylock was stingy<br>I was miserly too.<br>I was more selfish<br>And crabby than a shellfish.<br>Oh, dear, it's queer<br>What love can do!<br>I'd give all my possessions<br>For you<br>I've got five dollars<br>I'm in good conditions<br>And I've got ambition<br>That belongs to you.<br>Six shirts and collars<br>Debts beyond endurance<br>On my life insurance<br>That belongs to you!<br>I've got a heart<br>That must be spurtin'!<br>Just be certain<br>I'll be true<br>Take my five dollars!<br>Take my shirt and collars!<br>Take my heart and hollers!<br>Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!<br>I've got five dollars<br>Eighty-five relations<br>Two lace combinations<br>They belongs to you!<br>Two coats with collars<br>Ma and grandma wore'em<br>All the moths adore 'em<br>They belongs to you!<br>I've got two lips<br>That care for mating<br>Therefore waiting<br>Will not do!<br>Take my five dollars!<br>Take my shirt and collars!<br>Take my heart and hollers!<br>Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!
