| As I was walking down the street last night
|
| A pretty little girl came into sight
|
| I bowed and smiled and asked her her name
|
| She said, «Lookie here daddy, I don’t play that game»
|
| So I reached in my pocket, and much to her surprise
|
| There was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes
|
| Oh, greenback, greenback dollar bill, yes
|
| Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
|
| She looked at me with that familiar desire
|
| And her eyes lit up like they were on fire
|
| She said, «My name’s Flo, and you’re on the right track
|
| But lookie here, daddy, I got the furs on my back
|
| So if you want to have fun in this man’s land
|
| Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands.»
|
| Oh, greenback, greenback paper bill
|
| Yes, just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
|
| I didn’t know what I was getting into
|
| But out popped Lincoln and Jackson, too
|
| I didn’t mind seein' them fade out of sight
|
| Cause I just knew I’d have me some fun last night
|
| So whenever you in town and looking for a thrill
|
| If Lincoln can’t get it, Jackson sure will
|
| Greenback, greenback dollar bill, yes
|
| Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
|
| We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
|
| We dined and danced, and I was ready to go
|
| All of a sudden that chick arose
|
| She said, «Give me some money daddy, I got to powder my nose»
|
| So I gave her Lincoln with a smiling face
|
| And she went down to that there powder place
|
| With my, greenback dollar bill
|
| Yes, just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
|
| The music stopped and the lights came on
|
| And I looked around and saw I was all alone
|
| I didn’t know how long that chick had been gone
|
| But a nose powder sure didn’t take that long
|
| I left that place with tears in my eyes
|
| As I waved Lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye
|
| Greenback, greenback dollar bill, yes
|
| Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll |
