DONE UP IN SILVER
1st VERSE:
Stopped off for a beer last night, and as I was about to go
They hit the lights, a girl came on, I stuck around to catch her show.
2nd VERSE:
She had a unique idea, wore silver dollars as a dress.
And one by one, they hit the floor, but I liked her finale best.
SHE WAS
CHORUS:
DONE UP IN SILVER, A THIRTY DOLLAR SIGHT TO SEE.
AND WHEN SHE HAD THREE DOLLARS LEFT,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME YES SHE DID,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME.
3rd VERSE:
Chose songs that were apropos, like "Money" by that sixties' band.
And when she'd done "Take the Money and Run" She had us eating from her hand.
CHORUS:
SHE WAS DONE UP IN SILVER, A THIRTY DOLLAR SIGHT TO SEE.
AND WHEN SHE HAD THREE DOLLARS LEFT,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME YES SHE DID,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME.
4th VERSE:
You know, come to think of it, I guess it was a trifle hard
To dance around the way she did, as lightly as some feathered star
CHORUS:
SHE WAS DONE UP IN SILVER, A THIRTY DOLLAR SIGHT TO SEE.
AND WHEN SHE HAD THREE DOLLARS LEFT,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME YES SHE DID,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME.
SHE WAS DONE UP IN SILVER, A THIRTY DOLLAR SIGHT TO SEE.
AND WHEN SHE HAD THREE DOLLARS LEFT,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME YES SHE DID,
SHE THREW TWO DOLLARS OUT TO ME.
ENDING:
Done up in Silver (plus adlibs... ) Repeat and fade (?)
