I've Got Five Dollars Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

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 

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 spurtin'! 

Just be certain 

I'll be true 

Take my five dollars! 

Take my shirt and collars! 

Take my heart and hollers! 

"Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!" 

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! 

"Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"
