    solo
  •  
    You've got too much sugar for a dime (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 McRae, King Cole, or Mel Torme
    May I would come down off the shelf (I'm a Tex Ritter man myself)

    That's too much sugar for a dime!
     
  • (ad lib, "This dime ain't no good anyway,
    it's got a picture of _your favorite here :-)_ on it")
     
  • Well turn it over, cause there's a picture of you on the other side!
     
    That's too much sugar for a dime!

    appreciate telling me. Also, if there's any interest I'll transcribe
    Travis'
