The Dollar Song : by Livingston Taylor Great story to tell if you play at a bar party. (Repeat the notes same for all verses) or make up your own C She took a dollar bill from her wallet G C And picked up a ball point pen She wrote down the words I love you G C Next to the picture of George Washington She took the dollar bill to the grocery store And bought herself a chocolate cake She gave the dollar bill to the grocery man And went right home to wait Well the grocery man gave the dollar bill To a fat man from Baton Rouge He spent the bill at the hardware store On a box of flat top screws The hardware store man gave the dollar bill To customer named Clive Who by the way was one of the sons? Of one of the original Dave Clark five Well Clive took the bill to the Laundry Mat Gave it to a lady named Fran Her young son stole the bill from her purse And went to see Wayne’s World 2 again Well the movie man spent the dollar bill On a subway ride downtown And five minutes later the bill was in the pocket Of a gambling man named Brown Well Brown blew the bill in a poker game Fishing for an inside straight The bill went home with a man named Jones Who was sitting on a pair of eights (Little ditty) C G You don’t need no subway ride you don’t need no fare C G C Give a tug along the line ya know I’ll be there. Well anyway Jones took the bill to the savings bank The tellers name was Dan Dan gave the bill to Oh My God Rabbi Finklestan Well anyway the Rabbi spent the bill On a Ham and Cheese to go The bill wound up with a man named Phil Who gave it to his best friend Joe Now Joe had planned to spend the bill On some flowers for his bride But he was mugged by a junkie named Doug In the parking lot outside Well Doug’s old lady spent the bill On a couple of beers She eventually becomes a very important poet But that don’t matter here The liquor store man put the dollar bill In his register and then Doug the Junkie said “Stick Um Up” And the bill was his again He gave the bill to a man named Phil Who gave it to a lady named Flo She gave the bill to a real short man Whose name I do not know Well anyway the short man gave the bill To a fella named Jake He took the bill to the bar and grill and Bought him self a Sirloin Steak Well later on that very same day I stopped by the bar and grill The bartender counted out my change And handed me that dollar bill Well I ran to the phone and dialed up her number As fast as my fingers would do I said I just got your message And baby I love you too (Little Ditty) You don’t need no subway ride you don’t need no fare Give a tug along the line you know I’ll be there
