American Old Time Song Lyrics: 17 There's Millions In It
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 17
THERE'S MILLIONS IN IT.
The other day, upon the street,
I met a curbstone broker,
Who handed me his card so neat-
Upon it "William Croaker."
He soon explained a little scheme-
A thousand would begin it-
And said it would prove a "cream,"
Because "there's millions in it."
Chorus.
Don't grab or bite upon first sight,
Just stop and think a minute;
There's many a "fresh "got in a mesh,
Because "there's millions in it."
My friend, Fritz Jones, once bought some land,
Somewhere around Kellyville"A speculation safe and grand,"
'Tis this which made him feel ill.
The land was high-in fact so high,
You couldn't climb or shin it-
But some landshark had made him buy,
Because "there's millions in it. " -Chorus.
How many men from day to day,
We see who wear long faces,
Who foolishly have thrown away
Their many hard-earned "cases."
Stocks, bonds and lots they eager bought
On the impulse of the minute,
And all because they merely thought
That "there was millions in it. - Chorus
