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 the tumbled down shack by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion it's calling me back

I'd give up a 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 that shanty in old Shanty Town

It's a shanty, just a shanty in my home town
But the boys in the band are making crazy sounds
Hear them play a very song
Let's take it away!

I'd give up my palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace, why like it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
Look out babe, I'll be around to that shanty in Old Shanty Town
To that shanty in Old Shanty Town
