A Million Dollars

Standard

Give me a million dollars,

And I will go away.

Give me a million dollars,

And away from here I’ll stay.

Cuz I’m so very very tired,

Don’t want to work no more.

Give me a million dollars,

And watch me walk right out that door.

No more working for a boss,

Who doesn’t really care

If I live or die,

As long as he gets his share,

Of that money he makes off my back,

I’m working like a dog.

Give me that million dollars,

And get me out this fog.

If I had a million dollars,

I’d buy myself a car.

Don’t know where I’d go,

But I’d drive so very far

Away from here,

You won’t see me round no more.

Give me that million dollars,

I’m sick of being poor.

If I had that million dollars,

I’d get that tasty food,

You know that my sweet lady,

Would always be in the mood.

Having a million dollars,

Would be a brilliant scheme,

But I ain’t got a million dollars,

So I guess it’s all a dream.

I ain’t got a million dollars,

But I guess I still can dream.

Pretty Kitty Blues (It’s About Sammy)

Standard

Oh, you’re a pretty kitty,

You’re the prettiest kitty in town.

I said, you’re a pretty kitty,

You’re the prettiest kitty I’ve found.

And when you start to purring,

You know I’m gonna be hanging around.

Tried relaxing in my chair,

You push me to the ledge.

I try to sleep at night,

Baby, you keep me on edge.

Oh, you’re a pretty kitty,

You’re the prettiest kitty in town,

I said, you’re a pretty kitty.

You’re the prettiest kitty I’ve found.

And when you start to purring,

You know I am sticking around.

Sometimes you crawl up,

And rest yourself on my lap.

Other times you’re on my head,

And make me wear you like a hat.

Oh yes, you’re a pretty kitty,

You’re the prettiest kitty in town.

I said, you’re a pretty kitty,

The finest kitty I ever found.

And when you start that purring,

You know I’ll always be around.

When you sit down to eat,

There’s never a crumb left behind,

Watching you nibble my tender vittles,

I just about lose my mind.

Oh, you’re a pretty kitty,

You’re the prettiest kitty in town.

You’re a pretty kitty,

The best damn, tender-hearted, sweet-loving, green-eyed, bundle of love,

That this man has ever found.

(Purrrrrrrrrrrr)
