I've got five dollars
I'm in good conditions
And I've got ambition
That belongs to you
Six shirts and collars
Debts beyond endurance
On my life insurance
That belongs to you
I've got a heart
That must be spurting
Just be certain I'll be true
Take my five dollars
Take my shirt and collars
Take my heart that hollers
Everything I've got belongs to you
I've got five dollars
Eighty-five relations
Two lace combinations
They belong to you
Two coats and collars
Ma and grandma wore 'em
All the moths adore 'em
They belong to you
I've got two lips
That care for mating
Therefore waiting will not do
Take my five dollars
Take my coat and collars
Take my heart that hollers
Everything I've got belongs to you
I've got five dollars
Keep your shirt and collars
I'm through with all the ballers
'Cause everything I've got belongs to you
