The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've got two dollars in the jukebox, And five dollars in a bottle, And ten more just in case that don't do the trick! And I'll be dead broke tomorrow morning, With heart-aches by the dozen, And a lady on my mind that's driving me crazy. Why do I? Why do I? Need to see those blue eyes Lookin' at me that way again? After the way she did me, It's a sin! How could she? How could she? Just walk out and leave me? After all these nights in her arms, Look where I am! And I've got two dollars in the jukebox, And five dollars in a bottle, And ten more just in case that don't do the trick! And I'll be dead broke tomorrow morning, With heart-aches by the dozen, And a lady on my mind that's driving me crazy. I've got two dollars in the jukebox, And five dollars in a bottle, And ten more just in case that don't do the trick! And I'll be dead broke tomorrow morning, With heart-aches by the dozen, And a lady on my mind that's driving me crazy. I've got a lady on my mind that's driving me crazy!
