Lyrics

I've got five dollars
Eighty-five relations
Two silk combinations
They belong to you
Four coats and collars
Pa and Grandpa wore 'em
All the mobs adore 'em
They belong to you
I've got a heart that must be spurting
Just be certain I'll be true
Take my five dollars
Take my coats and collars
Take my heart that hollers
Everything I've got belongs to you
Peggy Joyce had a business
All her husbands had gold
And Lillian Tashman
Was not kissed by an Ashman
But now, somehow
Wealth leaves me cold
Though you're poor as a chitch mouse
Chitch mouse, I'm sold
I've got five dollars
I'm in good condition
And I've got ambition
And that belongs to you
Four coats and collars
Debts beyond endurance
On my life insurance
That belongs to you
I've got two lips that care for mating
Therefore waiting will not do
Take my five dollars
Take my coats and collars
Take my heart that hollers
Everything I've got belongs to you
Written by: Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
