Good Advice 1906

My friends they were plenty in prosperity,
'Twas "Hello old fellow, have a drink with me,
You're my guest today, Bill,
put your coin away,
I will feel insulted
if you try to pay;"
Since I lost my money,
'tisn't just the same,
When I tell my troubles,
they say "dat's a shame."
Grasp my hand and shake it
and they say so nice,
"Listen Bill, and take
a little good advice."

Ev'rybody gives me good advice,
but then nobody offers me the price,
Well, a glad hand shake
and a good kind word
wouldn't buy a dinner
for a humming bird.
Consolation may be very nice
But money cuts an awful lot of ice,
When you're feeling mighty blue,
and you ain't got a sou
Ev'rybody gives you good advice.

Ev'rybody gives me good advice,
but then nobody offers me the price,
Well, a glad hand shake
and a good kind word
wouldn't buy a dinner
for a humming bird.
Consolation may be very nice
But money cuts an awful lot of ice,
When you're feeling mighty blue,
and you ain't got a sou
Ev'rybody gives you good advice.

If kind words were money
I'd have lots of dough,
I'd get 'bout a million
from each friend I know,
"Cheer up, now, old fellow,"
everyone will say,
"Better times are coming,
you'll have wealth some day."
"When you're feeling hungry,"
someone said to me,
"Now don't sit and dream
of chicken fricasee.
Fresh air is as filling,
and it's twice as nice,
"Listen Bill, and take
a little good advice."

Ev'rybody gives me good advice,
but then nobody offers me the price,
Well, a glad hand shake
and a good kind word
wouldn't buy a dinner
for a humming bird.
Consolation may be very nice
But money cuts an awful lot of ice,
When you're feeling mighty blue,
and you ain't got a sou
Ev'rybody gives you good advice.

But money cuts an awful lot of ice,
When you're feeling mighty blue,
and you ain't got a sou
Ev'rybody gives you good advice.
