A Dollar or Two.With cautious step, as we tread our way throughThis intricate world as other folks do,—May we still on our journey be able to view,The benevolent face of a dollar or two.CHORUS.For an excellent thing is a dollar or two,No friend is so true as a dollar or two;Through country and town, as we pass up or down,No passport’s so good as a dollar or two.Would you read yourself out of the bachelor crewAnd the hand of a female divinity sue?You must always be ready the handsome to do,Although it may cost you a dollar or two.CHORUS.Love’s arrows are tipped with a dollar or two,And affection is gain’d by a dollar or two;The best aid you can meet in advancing your suit,Is the eloquent chink of a dollar or two.Would you wish your existence with faith to imbue,And enrol in the ranks of the sanctified few?To enjoy a good name and a well-cushion’d pew,You must freely come down with a dollar or two.CHORUS.The gospel is preach’d for a dollar or two,And salvation is claim’d for a dollar or two;You may sin some at times, but the worst of all crimes,Is to find yourself short of a dollar or two.
