Lyrics In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town - The Ink Spots

It's only a shanty
In old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty
It touches the ground
Just a tumbled down shack
By an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion
It's calling me back

I'd give up my palace
If I were a king
It's more than a palace
It's my everything
There's a queen waiting there
With a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town

Honey child, it's only a shanty
In old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty
Why It's just about fallin' down
It's just a tumbled down shack
In fact, it's way back by the railroad track
A millionaire's mansion
Oh, baby, It's calling me back

Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Shanty town

The roof is so slanty
It touches the ground
Where the roof's in
And comes back down
It goes all around and round
So long, farewell
To you, goodbye
Goodnight, to old shanty town
