duke ellington - the brown-skin gal (in the calico gown) lyrics
[verse 1]
a penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream
a quarter for a tune like “the old mill stream”
but i’d give a dollar and my heart to follow
for the brown+skin gal in the calico gown
[verse 2]
a puzzle for a pal, a jackknife for a song
a garter for the gal in the blue sarong
but i’d give a necklace because i’m reckless
for a kiss from the miss in the calico gown
[bridge]
haven’t much use for worldly goods
robin hood’s for me
if my love’s worth a nickel, it’s worth a peso
mine for the giving, hers for the say so
[verse 3]
a pony for a car to take her out to dine
a scissor cuts a heart on a valеntine
then a sky+blue bonnеt with pink ribbons on it
for the brown+skin gal in the calico gown
[instrumental break]
[outro]
for the brown+skin gal in the calico gown
