1
As I was walking down the street last night
2
A pretty little girl came into sight
3
I bowed and smiled and asked her name
4
She said, "Hold it bud, I don't play that game"
5
I reached in my pocket, and to her big surprise
6
There was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes
7
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
8
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
9
She looked at me with that familiar desire
10
Her eyes lit up like they were on fire
11
She said, "My name's Flo, and you're on the right track
12
But look here, daddy, I wear furs on my back
13
So if you want to have fun in this man's land
14
Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands"
15
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
16
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
17
I didn't know what I was getting into
18
But I popped Lincoln and Jackson, too
19
I didn't mind seeing them fade out of sight
20
I just knew I'd have some fun last night
21
Whenever you in town and looking for a thrill
22
If Lincoln can't get it, Jackson sure will
23
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
24
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
25
We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
26
Dined and danced, and I was ready to go
27
I got out of my seat, and when Flo arose
28
She said, "Hold on daddy, while I powder my nose"
29
I sat back down with a smiling face
30
While she went down to the powder place
31
With my greenback, greenback dollar bill
32
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
33
The music stopped and the lights came on
34
I looked around and saw I was all alone
35
I didn't know how long Flo had been gone
36
But a nose powder sure didn't take that long
37
I left the place with tears in my eyes
38
As I waved Lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye
39
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
40
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
