MARIA MULDAUR
"Three Dollar Bill"
(David Nichtern / Mac Rebennack)

You catch 'em on the fly
And you leave 'em high and dry
Oh, but I'm up on your game, baby
And your two-bit alibi
But you just won't quit
And you don't even wanna try
You're livin' out of your suitcase
And the rat race'll run you dry

[Chorus 1:]
You're just a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill)
You're just a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill, ooh)
Tellin' your travelin' salesman jokes
Like a politician kissin' babies, hustlin' votes
And baby, you're just a three dollar
Baby, you're just a three dollar
Baby, you're just a three, you're just a three dollar bill

You're weak for the young girls
You love 'em and you leave 'em
Mmm, your favorite hobby
Is seduce 'em and deceive 'em
Mmm, but one day you'll get caught
Messin' up in the wrong room
And then you'll be diggin' a shotgun wedding
As a twelve-gauge groom

[Chorus 2:]
You're just a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill)
You're just a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill, ooh)
Baby, you just been a-wastin' my time
Now a three dollar bill ain't even worth one dime
And baby, you're just a three dollar
Baby, you're just a three dollar
Baby, you're just a three, you're just a three dollar bill

[Chorus 3:]
You're just a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill)
You're just a three, three dollar bill (Three dollar bill, ooh)
Baby, you're counterfeit and you're phony
You come around here stone full of baloney
And baby, you're just a three dollar
Baby, you're just a three dollar
Baby, you're just a three, you're just a three dollar bill

[Outro:]
You're just a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill, ooh)
You ain't nothin', baby, but a three dollar bill (Three dollar bill, ooh)
Oh, I can't use it, I don't want it
I can't spend it, I don't need it
You're just a three, you're just a three dollar bill
Ooh, you're just a three...
