Well look who's here if it ain't Judy Hayden
Hello honey
Oh hello Travis
What's the big boast today?
Have you bought the London Bridge?
Oh, that little old thing
Well I just purchased Fort Knox
Now if you want a mink coat
Now wait a minute, wait a minute
What's your trouble?
That's too much sugar for a dime
Explain yourself will you please
You're always handing me a line
That happens in the best convertibles
Always bragging about all you've got
A swimming pool and a fancy yacht
I'll bet you don't know nothing about a boat
They float
That's too much honey for my hive
Oh quit your buzzing queen bee
All you do is pitch a lot of jive
See what I mean
Well I know honey I've done you dirt
But you can wipe your shoes on my silk shirt
That's too much sugar for a dime
You've got too much sugar for a dime
Oh I've got barrels of that stuff
Yak yak yak all the time
Yak along Travis that's me
Now if you could sing like Gordon McCrae
King Cole or Mel Torme
Then maybe I would come down off the shelf
I'm a Tex Ritter man myself
That's too much candy for the cause
I've got a heart like a whale
So do me a favor
What's that?
Get lost
Well I guess I'll give the devil his dues
No no, Petrillo might refuse
That's too much sugar for a dime
Whoa, this old dime ain't no good nohow
What's the matter with it?
It's got a picture of Jimmy Wakely on it
Well turn it over there's a picture
Of Margaret Whiting on the other side
Ain't you sharp now
That's too much sugar for a dime
