I made up a new little song, |
|
if I had a nickel for every one... |
|
Then I'd be making a living |
|
instead of sitting here whistling now |
|
I'd be making a living |
|
just like a tin pan alley musician. |
|
I'd come up with ten tunes a day, |
|
keep them ever-coming for but a modest wage... |
|
Then I'd be making a living |
|
instead of sitting here whistling now |
|
I'd be making a living |
|
just like a tin pan alley musician. |
|
If they'd listen to me whistlin; |
|
they would whistle along... |
|
...Then I'd be making a living |
|
just like those old tin pan alley musicians. |
|
If they'd listen to me whistlin' |
|
I won't be sittin' here long... |
