I've Got Five Dollars

Mister Shylock was stingy\nI was miserly too.\nI was more selfish\nAnd crabby than a shellfish.\nOh, dear, it’s queer\nWhat love can do!\nI’d give all my possessions\nFor you\nI’ve got five dollars\nI’m in good conditions\nAnd I’ve got ambition\nThat belongs to you.\nSix shirts and collars\nDebts beyond endurance\nOn my life insurance\nThat belongs to you!\nI’ve got a heart\nThat must be spurtin'!\nJust be certain\nI’ll be true\nTake my five dollars!\nTake my shirt and collars!\nTake my heart and hollers!\n«Ev'rything I’ve got belongs to you!»\nI’ve got five dollars\nEighty-five relations\nTwo lace combination’s\nThey belongs to you!\nTwo coats with collars\nMa and Grandma wore’em\nAll the moths adore 'em\nThey belongs to you!\nI’ve got two lips\nThat care for mating\nTherefore waiting\nWill not do!\nTake my five dollars!\nTake my shirt and collars!\nTake my heart and hollers!\n«Everything I’ve got belongs to you!»
