A Dollar Down and a Dollar a Week (trad.) Well, a friend of mine bought a radio A dollar down and a dollar a week He said it’s the easiest trap I know A dollar down and a dollar a week He bought a rug and a violin A fancy car and a mowing machine A set of the lives of some famous men Just a dollar down and a dollar a week He bought a suit, a hat, and shoes A dollar down and a dollar a week He joined a club and paid his dues A dollar down and a dollar a week He bought a ring that was fair to see The lilly white hand of his bride to be And when he got married the minister’s fee A dollar down and a dollar a week When the baby came the doctor got A dollar down and a dollar a week My friend fed and clothed that tot On a dollar down and a dollar a week At last his wife said I must be free These weekly payments are ruining me She got a divorce and the alimony Was a dollar down and a dollar a week
