Songtext Millionaire The Felice Brothers

Millionaire

I've been saving all my pennies in a box of Good & Plenty

I could tell you a story about a Millionaire
if you want to hear a story, I don't care
He went from Raleigh to Texas with a Basset hound
He hopped the train in Memphis, wearing nothing but a wedding gown
And he took his favorite enemy
he put him in a bottle and set him off to sea

I could tell you a secret about this Millionaire
He was my friend in the army
and now he sorts of states for sale
He built a beautiful tower
In a snowy globe
And when you shook it there's a storm of money
There's only one golden road that leads there

I knew a lion trainer who had a run of fame
He cut himself shaving and now he's in heaven

Thirty years in showbiz
Thirty long years
It's a lifetime, my child, I've been running wild
Thirty years in showbiz
Thirty long years
I've got a hell of an act, but Lynn wants me back

And I've been saving all my pennies in a box of Good & Plentys
And I'm going to buy you a ring
