One Dollar More
One dollar more is all that I have
Look my way darling,
Dance me the dance.
Step up from your pole, there
And give me a wink
And I’ll use my credit
To buy you that drink.
The tassels you’re wearing
Do little to provide
Coverage for your beauty
You’re a stripper, don’t hide
The music you’re using
Provocative, indeed
Makes you my momentary beauty,
My momentary need.
So, one dollar more is all that I have
I’ve given you plenty
And you should be glad
But why do you dance
On the stage over there?
Having taken all my money,
Of you, I’ll beware!
