She loved him though he was cokey

He took her down to Chinatown

He showed her how to kick the gong around ()

Now she had a dream about the King of Sweden

He gave her things that she was needin´

He gave her a home that was built of gold and steel

A diamond car with platinum wheels

Now he gave her his townhouse and his racing horses

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses

She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes

And she sat around and counted ´em all a million times
