[00:02.70] As I was walking down the street last night
[00:05.75] A pretty little girl came into sight
[00:08.44] I bowed and smiled and asked her name
[00:11.68] She said hold it bud I don't play that game
[00:14.17] I reached in my pocket and to her big surprise
[00:17.14] There was lincoln staring her dead in the eyes
[00:20.39] On a greenback greenback dollar bill
[00:25.97] Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
[00:32.54] She looked at me with that familiar desire
[00:35.65] Her eyes lit up like they were on fire
[00:38.55] She said my name's flo and you're on the right track
[00:41.58] But look here daddy I wear furs on my back
[00:44.53] So if you want to have fun in this man's land
[00:47.28] Let lincoln and jackson start shaking hands
[00:50.01] On a greenback greenback dollar bill
[00:55.05] Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
[01:02.27] I didn't know what I was getting into
[01:05.06] But I popped lincoln and jackson too
[01:08.05] I didn't mind seeing them fade out of sight
[01:10.94] I just knew I'd have some fun last night
[01:13.98] Whenever you in town and looking for a thrill
[01:16.47] If lincoln can't get it jackson sure will
[01:19.21] On a greenback greenback dollar bill
[01:23.55] Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
[01:49.35] We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
[01:52.14] Dined and danced and I was ready to go
[01:55.14] I got out of my seat and when flo arose
[01:57.87] She said hold on daddy while I powder my nose
[02:00.81] I sat back down with a smiling face
[02:03.60] While she went down to the powder place
[02:06.09] With my greenback greenback dollar bill
[02:10.47] Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
[02:18.60] The music stopped and the lights came on
[02:21.38] I looked around and saw I was all alone
[02:24.23] I didn't know how long flo had been gone
[02:26.82] But a nose powder sure didn't take that long
[02:30.30] I left the place with tears in my eyes
[02:32.85] As I waved lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye
[02:35.83] On a greenback greenback dollar bill
[02:39.67] Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
