"In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town" lyrics

"In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town"

It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty it touches the ground
Just a tumbled down shack by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion, it's calling me back

I'd give up my palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace, it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty, in old Shanty Town

Honey child, it's only a shanty in old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty, why it's just about fallin' down
It's just a tumbled down shack
In fact, it's way back by the railroad track
It's millionaire's mansion, oh, baby, it's calling me back

Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Shanty town

The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground
Where the roof's in and comes back down
It goes all around and round
So long (so long), farewell (farewell)
To you (to you), goodbye (goodbye)
Goodnight (goodnight), to old shanty town
