Way down east in Philadelphia,
near the Allegheny Hills,
There one night two paleface Indians
started on the pace that kills.
Galloped into New York City
on their ponies Cash and Dough,
Stopped at all the Broadway wigwams
where the other Indians go.
Out of Rector's into Shanley's
out and in again,
ev'ry place was full of Indians
singing this refrain.

Tip, tip, tip, tip,
tip the waiter
Tip the cashier too,
Tip the hat boy
while you're able
Tip the chairs and tip the table,
Tip just like a tipsy sailor,
tipping off the foam,
and when you're flat
just tip your hat
and tip your toes back home.

Tip, tip, tip, tip,
tip the waiter
Tip the cashier too,
Tip the hat boy
while you're able
Tip the chairs and tip the table,
Tip just like a tipsy sailor,
tipping off the foam,
and when you're flat
just tip your hat
and tip your toes back home.

When the cold grey day was dawning,
little boys were meek and mild,
joined another tribe of Indians
camping down at wig wam Childs,
Thro' the window many faces
looked upon the tribe inside,
where the boys told how their ponies,
Cash and Dough had quickly died.
Soon they beat it back to "Philly"
on the box car trail,
Big Chief Engineer was happy
when he heard them wail.

Tip, tip, tip, tip,
tip the waiter
Tip the cashier too,
Tip the hat boy
while you're able
Tip the chairs and tip the table,
Tip just like a tipsy sailor,
tipping off the foam,
and when you're flat
just tip your hat
and tip your toes back home.

Tip, tip, tip, tip,
tip the waiter
Tip the cashier too,
Tip the hat boy
while you're able
Tip the chairs and tip the table,
Tip just like a tipsy sailor,
tipping off the foam,
and when you're flat
just tip your hat
and tip your toes back home.
