drop your silver in my tambourine.
Help a poor man fill his pretty dream.
Give me pennies, I'll take anything.
Now listen while I play my green tambourine.
Watch the jingle jangle start to shine,
Reflections of the music that is mine.
When you toss a coin, you'll hear it sing.
Now listen while I play my green tambourine.
Drop a dime before I walk away.
Any song you want, I'll gladly play.
Money feeds my music machine.
Now listen while I play my green tambourine.
When They Ask About You
YOURS
Jimmy Dorsey
Yours till the stars have no glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life's story,
This pledge to you, dear, I bring.
Yours in the gray of December
Here or on far distant shores!
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I? When I was born to be just yours.
