Vivian Blaine:
Bet your bottom dollar
There'll always be a moon
A haunting tune
A feeling that comes with you
Bet your bottom dollar
There'll always be a brook
A shading look
A day that ends too soon
Time hasn't changed the meaning
Of little things we cling too
Man will forever be a king to a maid
In her dream parade
Bet your bottom dollar
There'll always be some snow
A Christmas glow
A kiss for Miss O'Tole
So as long as these existing things I speak of
You can bet your bottom dollar there we'll love
The Music Makers:
You can bet your bottom dollar really!
There'll always be free mop mop
And the samba from Rio really!
Samba!
Carmen Miranda:
Bet your bottom dollar
Faça uma apostinha que nunca vamos nos separar
Pois nós somos do samba e o samba não nos vai deixar
Oh, bet your bottom dollar
Faça uma apostinha nossa vida vai ser sempre assim
Pois nós somos do samba e seremos dele até o fim
Ai, ai, eu me lembro aquela noite
Do batuque no terreiro
Quando você batia o couro do pandeiro
E a turma até arrastava o pé
Oh, bet yor bottom dollar
Faça uma apostinha nosso amor nunca vai se acabar
Pois o samba e nós dois é o mesmo que feijão e arroz
E quando chega bem na hora de um batuque bem gingado
Eu perco a minha cachola, você traz sua viola
E nós saimos lá pra escola onde a gente se rebola
And you can bet your bottom there we'll love
So as long as these existing things we speak of
Bet your betcha
You can bet your last dime in your pocket
Or you gotta go out in a hocked
Hearts are bound in flatter
You can bet your watch, your Scotch
Your bottom
Bet your bottom dollar
That there'll be love
