America's Sweetheart - I've Got Five Dollars Lyrics |
1931 Broadway America's Sweetheart the Musical - I've Got Five Dollars Lyrics
The song is written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
Mister Shylock was stingy I was miserly too. I was more selfish And crabby than a shellfish. Oh, dear, it's queer What love can do! I'd give all my possessions for you
(Refrain:) 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 and hollers, "Everything I've got belongs to you!"
Peggy Joyce has a business, All her husbands have gold. And Lilyan Tashman is not kissed by an ashman, But now, somehow Wealth leaves me cold. Though you're as a church mouse I'm sold!
(Refrain:) I've got five dollars, Eighty-five relations, Two lace combinations, They belongs to you! Two coats with collars Ma and Grandma wore'em, All the moths adore 'em They belongs to you! I've got two lips That care for mating, Therefore waiting will not do! Take my five dollars! Take my shirt and collars! Take my heart and hollers! "Everything I've got belongs to you!"
