A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
IT’S ONLY A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN,
THE ROOF IS SO SLANTY, IT TOUCHES THE GROUND,
BUT MY TUMBLE DOWN SHACK, BY AN OLD RAILROAD TRACK,
LIKE A MILLIONAIRE’S MANSION, IS CALLING ME BACK,
I’D GIVE UP A PALACE, IF I WERE A KING,
IT’S MORE THAN A PALACE, IT’S MY EV’RYTHING,
THERE’S A QUEEN WAITING THERE WITH A SILVERY CROWN,
IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN.
(REPEAT REFRAIN)
