Jim Dixon Lyr Req: Depression Era Songs (104* d) Lyr Add: IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS (Mercer/Malnec 21 Nov 16


IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS
Words by Johnny Mercer ; music by Matt Malneck, ©1934.
From the film "Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round."


I. As recorded by the Boswell Sisters.

CHORUS: If I had a million dollars, I know just what I would do:
I'd tie a string around the world and bring all of it to you.
Those little things you pray for, whatever they may be,
I'd have enough to pay for them all C.O.D.
If I spent the million dollars, I know I would never care
Because as long as you were mine, I'd still be a millionaire.
That's why I'm always dreaming, dreaming of what I would do
If I had a million dollars for you.


II. As recorded by Al Bowlly.

VERSE: Castles with their thrones, ships upon the sea,
Gold and precious stones, all belong to me.
Foolish though it seems, ev'ry word is true.
Though they're only mine in dreams, my dreams belong to you.

CHORUS: [As above, but ending with:]
If I had a million dollars and you.
