It's only a shanty in old shanty town
Because the roof is so slanty
It touches the ground
But my tumblin' down shack
Is by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion
Keep callin' me back
I'd give up a palace if I was a king
Because it's more than a palace
It's my everything
And there's a queen
Waiting there with a silver crown
In old shanty in old shanty town

I'd give up a palace if I was a king
Because it's more than a palace
It's my everything
And there's a queen
Waiting there with a silver crown
In old shanty in old shanty town
