The Gold Digger's Song (We're In the Money)
Ted Lewis
We're in the money, We're in the money;
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
We're in the money, the skies are sunny;
Old man depression,you are through,
You done us wrong!
We never see a headline
'bout a breadline, today,
And when we see the landlord,
We can look that guy right in the eye.
We're in the money, Come, on my honey,
Let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling along.

Have you ever been lonely？
Have you ever been blue？
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you？
Can'tcha see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made？
Can'tcha see I've changed, dear？
Can'tcha see I've paid？
Be-ee a little forgiving
Take me back in your heart
How can I go on living
Now that we're apart？
If you knew what I've been through
You would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely？
Have you ever been blue？
If you knew what I've been through
You would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely？
Have you ever been blue？

3.In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town
IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN
Ted Lewis
(Joe Young／Little Jack Little ＆ John Siras)
I'm up in the world,
but I'd give the world to be where I used to be,
A heavenly nest,
where I rest the best,
means more than the world to me.
It's only a shanty
in old Shanty Town
the roof is so slanty it touches the ground.
But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track,
like a millionaire's mansion is 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 a shanty in old Shanty Town.
4.Lazy Bones
LAZYBONES
Ted Lewis
(Carmichael／Mercer)
- lyrics as recorded in London, June 16, 1934 by The Mills
Brothers
Mmm
Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun
How you spect to get your day's work done？
I don't wanna get my day's work done
I'm sleepin' in this noon day sun
Lazybones, lyin' in the shade
How you spect to get your cornmeal made？
I don't wanna get no cornmeal made
I'm sleepin' in this evening shade
When taters need sprayin', oh, I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off of the vine
I keep prayin' and when I go fishin' I always keep wishin'
That the fish don't grab at my line
Lazybones, loafin' all the day
How you spect to make a dime that way
I don't wanna make a dime no way
Can't you see, I ain't heard a word you say
Well, lookee here
5.Try A Little Tenderness
Try A Little Tenderness
Ted Lewis
She may be weary,
Women do get weary
Wearing thethe same shabby dress？
