Lyrics Just A Shanty In An 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
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 tracks
A millionaires mansion
Oh, baby, it's callin' me back

Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Shanty, shanty, Shanty, shanty, Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty
It touches the ground

Where it goes way up
And it comes back down
Goes all around, round
So long, farewell
Toodle ooh, goodbye
Goodnight, to old shanty town
