LAY SOMETHING ON THE BAR (BESIDES YOUR ELBOW)
(As performed by Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five)

...ten-dollar bill.
Lay something on the bar besides your elbow.
They can't ring up your elbows on the till.

Your horn been on each round that someone's ordered,
But still you haven't parted with a dime.
Our Uncle Sam don't make the stuff to hoard it,
So please spend something else besides your time.
Lay something on the bar besides your elbows....
