Down at the pawnshop, at the pawnshop
They got my watch and everything
I gotta dime in my pocket, nothing left I can hawk it
It looks like this poor boy, is lovin' that girl in vain
Purdy girl waitin' for me, to show her the bright spots in town
Yes, I got myself in deep water
But if a penny could save me I'd drown
But she thinks I've riches to burn, something I let her do believe
All the guys are waiting for their turn
While in front of the pawnshop I grieve
Down at the pawnshop, at the pawnshop
They got my watch and everything
I gotta dime in my pocket, nothing left I can hawk it
It looks like this poor boy, is lovin' that girl in vain
Golden hair and blue eyes, sure make this poor boy feel fine
But I wonder if she knew about me
Would she make this poor boy stand in line
Yes, I could sing her a sad song 'bout a guy that's lost all his wealth
But I'm afraid something would go wrong
And she'd look for me on the shelf
Down at the pawnshop, at the pawnshop
They got my watch and everything
I gotta dime in my pocket, nothing left I can hawk it
It looks like this poor boy, is lovin' that girl in vain
It looks like this poor boy, is lovin' that girl in vain
