Silver Dollar - 1950 - Petula Clarke

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Oct 2001

You can throw a silver dollar
down upon the ground and it will roll
because it's round.
A woman never knows
what a good man she's got
until she turns him down,
so listen my honey,
listen to me
I want you to understand
that as a silver dollar
goes from hand to hand
a woman goes from man to man,
a woman goes from man to man.

A man without a woman
is like a ship without a sail,
a boat without a rudder
or a fish without a tail,
a man without a woman
is like a wreck upon the sand,
there's only one thing worse
in the universe
that's a woman without a man.
A woman without a man.

You can throw a silver dollar
down upon the ground and it will roll
because it's round.
A woman never knows
what a good man she's got
until she turns him down,
so listen my honey,
listen to me
I want you to understand
that as a silver dollar
goes from hand to hand
a woman goes from man to man,
a woman goes from man to man.
