 it's only a shanty in old shanty town
    roof is so slanty, it touches the ground 
men star right, one time around tonight

swing your girl and promenade around that ring
 there's a queen waitin' there with a silvery crown
    in that shanty in old shanty town

    in that shanty in old shanty town 

break

sides face grand square
 there's a shanty in a town with a little bit of ground
    where the green grass grows all around, all around 
roofs down, roofs gone, how it tumbles to the ground
    yes a little grass shack, set way back, 25 feet from the railroad track
    hangs on my heart all the time 
ladies promenade
 be so happy, hiallie sallasie
    if i was a king wouldn't mean a thing 
swing your lady there and promenade the ring
 there's a queen waitin there in a rockin chair
    blowing her top and combin her hair
    whip it on round and truck it on down
    cause i got to get back to my shanty town
