From Blanche
Calloway and Her Joy Boys, 1925-1935; The Chronogical Classics 783.
I'm not broke, I'm barely bent,
I'm not down to my last cent,
Got a dollar, my last dollar bill!
In my pocket, there's a dent,
All my dough is nearly spent,
Got a dollar, my last dollar bill.
Oh, what luck, just one more buck,
Fortune left me by chance.
Here's a bill,
Feel like a mill',
You can tell by a glance.
I don't care, no millionaire
Can give me the icy stare,
Got a dollar, my last dollar bill.
