It's only a shanty in old shanty town;
It's roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.
But my tum - bled down shack by an old railroad track,
Like a mill - ion - aire's mansion is call - ing me back.
I'd give up my palace if I were a king;
It's more than a palace ? it's my ev'rything.
There's a queen waiting there, in a sil - ver - y crown
In a shanty in old shanty town.
In a shanty in old shanty town,
In a shanty in old shanty town.
