From the sheet music at New York Public Library:


BORROW FROM ME
Words by Jean Havez, music by Bert Williams, ©1912.

1. Ev'ry time they gets a plan
Where they want to find a man
Who will lend them five or ten,
They first test my generosity.
I've loaned my coin out day by day
To diff'rent folks who swore they'd pay,
But these few words I'm goin' to say
When someone wants to touch me:

CHORUS: Bring me the stone that David slew Goliath with,
    and from the apple Adam ate, bring me the core.
Bring me the leaf of the very same tree
    that the dove took the branch back to brother Noah.
Bring me the lion that let Daniel live,
    and the whale that swallowed Jonah in the sea.
If you bring me ev'rything that I ask you to bring,
    old boy, you can borrow from me.
