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
