Jerry Lewis - Lay Something on the Bar lyrics

We've listened to a lot of conversation
About the fortunes you have made and spent.
Your story may be true but conversation
Is not the stuff with which we pay the rent.

Chorus:
Lay something on the bar besides your elbows.
Something like an old ten dollar bill.
Lay something on the bar besides your elbows.
They can't ring up your elbows in the till.

You've horned in on each round that someone's ordered.
But still you haven't parted with a dime.
Our uncle Sam don't make the stuff you've horded,
So please send something else besides your time.

Chorus

That's from
