Greenback Dollar - Bobby Darin

Some people say I’m a no-count

Others say I’m no good

But I’m just a natural born travelling man

Doing what I think I should, oh yeah

Doing what I think I should

And I don’t give a

About a greenback dollar

Spend it fast as I can

For a whaling song and a good guitar

The only things that I understand

Yes, the only things that I understand

When I was a little baby

My momma said, «Hey son

You gotta travel where you will

And grow up to be a man

And sing what gotta be sung

Sing what gotta be sung»

And I don’t give a

About a greenback dollar

Spend it fast as I can

For a whaling song and a good guitar

The only things that I understand

Yes, the only things that I understand

Now that I’m a grown man

I’ve travelled here and there

But I’ve learned that a bottle of brandy and a song

Are the only ones who ever cared

The only ones who really cared

And I don’t give a

About a greenback dollar

Spend it fast as I can

For a whaling song and a good guitar

The only things that I understand

Yes, the only things that I understand

Some people say I’m a no-count, yeah

Others say I’m no good

But I’m just a natural born travelling man

I’m doing what I think I should, oh yeah

I’m doing what I think I should

And I don’t give a

About a greenback dollar

Spend it fast as I can

For a whaling song and a good guitar

The only things that I understand

Yes, the only things that I understand

I said, the only things that I understand

Yes, the only things that I understand

I said, the only things that I understand
