SILVER DOLLAR
You can tlirow a Silvcr clollar down
upon the ground
And it will roll, becausc it’s round.
A woman never knows what a good
man she‘s got
Until she turns him down,
So listcn my honcy, listen to me
I want you to understand
That a silver dollar goes from hand
to hand
Likc a woman goes from man to man.
A woman goes from man to man.
A man without a woman is like a ship
witliout a sail,
A boat without a ruddcr is like a fish
witliout a tail,
A man without a woman is like a wreck
upon a sand,
Thcre's only. one thing worsc in the
universe
That’s a woman widiout a man,
A woman without a man.
TO YOUNG
They try to tell us we’re to young
Too young to really bc in love.
They say tliat love’s a word,
A word we’ve only heard
But can’t begin to know the meaning of.
Ancl yet, we’re not too young to know
This love will last though years may go.
Ancl then, someday they may recall
We we’re not to young at all.
SENORA
Scnora, may I see the Scnorita?
Senora, talk it over with Senor.
Senora how I love the Senorita,
Senora, mention it to the Senor.
I’d like to come calling if I may,
I’vc never loved like tliis before.
She threw me a rose tlie other day,
Now I adorc hcr more ancl more,
Senora, may I kiss the Scnorita?
Senora, talk it over with Senor.
• ’Cause I’ll be comin’ back for more,
So talk ít ovcr vith Scnor!
MADRID
Madrid Madrid Madrid
Is like a lady dressed in Spanish Lace
Madrid Madrid Madrid
With each cafe a smile on her face
Her lights are eyes that shine
Her nights are like intoxicating wine
I lost my heart complet’ely
to her splendor
How could I help surrender
To the magic of Madrid
I know someday I’ll sail again
to meet her
My lovely senorita
Shc’s thc lady callcd Madrid.
CINCINNAT-TI DANCING PIG
Cincinnat-ti dancing pig
He’s the barnyard mister big
Cincinnat-ti dancing pig
With his riggedy, jiggedy, jiggedy,
jig a jig jig!
Childrcn yell and clap and sing
When he does his buck and wing,
Cincinnat-ti dancing pig
With his riggedy, jiggedy, jiggedy,
j‘g a j‘g j‘g!
Dancing bears and kangaroos
Have a lot on the ball,
But until you see that remarkable pig
You ain’t aseen anothin’ at all!
From Duluth to Birmingham
He’s the pork chop Dapper Dan,
He’s the keenest ham what am,
Cincinnat-ti dancing pig
With his riggedy, jiggedy, jiggedy,
j‘g a j‘g i‘g!
