Of course The Andrew Sisters

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Won't contaminate myself with it
Take it away, take it away, take it away

If a woman calls a man honey
And it's on account of his money
Honey & money will soon be gone
Take it away, take it away, take it away

I got the one I love
I got the moon & stars above
I got my youth & health
What do I want with wealth?

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Won't contaminate myself with it
Take it away, take it away, take it away

La la la

Haven't got a cent but don't worry
Haven't got a job but no hurry
I would answer if they gave me gold
Take it away, take it away, take it away

If you want no income tax mister
Take it easy & relax mister
When they offer work be strong & say
Take it away, take it away, take it away

I got the one I love
I got the moon & stars above
I got my youth & my health
What do I want with wealth?

Money is the root of all evil
Money is the root of all evil
Won't contaminate myself with it
Take it away, take it away, take it away, take it away
Take it away, take it away, take it away, take it away

Phew it's a long one!!

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.

Blimey written in 1907/8

Remember singing this years ago!....no I'm not that old lol....when Bobby Darin sang it ;O)

Teresa Brewer If my memory serves me right sang Silver Dollar

It goes somethin like this

You can roll a silver dollar down upon the ground
and it will roll because its round
A woman never knows what a good man she got
Until she turns him down
Listen my honey Oh listen to me
I want you to undersatnd
That as a silver dollar goes form hand to hand
A woman goes from man to man
