Tell me real tell me true
Tell me more about door number two
Do me red do me blue
What goes on behind door number two?
Betsy Button - she just got old
Drives to Vegas with a kid or two
She saved her nickels - it sure adds up
Now she's got 'em in a paper cup
She needs:
3 bars
3 cherries
3 lemons
3 pigs
A date with Elvis
A new car
A roll of dollars for the cookie jar
Tell me real tell me true
Tell me more about door number two
Do me red do me blue
What's to do behind door number two?
Please Mr. Barker - look and see
What are the chances for a city boy
About my age my height and weight
What is the payout on an inside straight?
A new love
A new hairline
Fame and fortune
A square deal
High adventure in a far-off world
An assignation with a college girl
Tell me real tell me true
Tell me more about door number two
Do me red do me blue
What goes on behind door number two?
This old town goes on and on
It ages better than my bag of tricks
Nothing finer for the old morale
Then a tony townhouse in a swank locale
The Bahamas
The Bermudas
The Barbados
Or I don't know -
Gin and tonic on the veranda
A firm appointment with the late late show
Tell me real tell me true
Tell me more about door number two
Do me red do me blue
What goes on behind door number two?
