C E7 A7 D7 D#dim D9 D7
It's only a shanty in old shanty town, it's roof is so slanty, it touches the ground
G G7 C C7
But my tum - bled down shack, by an old railroad track
D D7 G G7
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back
C E7 A7 D7 D#dim D9 D7
I'd give up my palace if I were a king, it's more than a palace - it's my ev'rything
F Fm C -E7 - A7
There's a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown
Dm7 G - G7 - C Cdim - Dm7 - G7
In a shanty in old shanty town
C E7
There's a shanty in a track an' although it's just a shack
A7 D7
There's a G.I. loan, gotta pay it back, the paint's brand new,
D#dim D9
but the loan is overdue, and I'm gonna, blow my stack
G G7 C C7
It's a knocked-out pad, but the neighbors are mad, 'cause the cat next door is a swingin' lad
D D7 G G7
Out o' my mind most all o' the time, this squaresville settlement's drivin' me mad
C E7 A7
I'd be just as sassy as Trigger or Lassie, I wouldn't even pay my union dues
D7 D#dim D9
A toast to all, let's have a ball, hi-fi records blow rhythm and blues
F Fm C - E7 - A7
Gotta queen waitin' there in a contour chair, gave up rockin' 'cause she's no square
Dm7 G - G7
But I'm jumpin' up and down an' I'm actin' like a clown
- C NC... Cdim - Dm7 - G7
'Cause I gotta get back to my shanty town
C E7 A7 D7 D#dim D9 D7
I'd give up my palace if I were a king, it's more than a palace - it's my ev'rything
F Fm C -E7 - A7
