You waltz in here
With a handful of gimme
A mouthful of much obliged
I go home feeling empty
From all you signify

I'd spend the last of my last ten cents
On a nickel bag of candy
And if I had just ten more cents
I think I would take a ride
On the Staten Island ferry

You waltz in here with a handful of gimme
A mouthful of sweet lovin' lies
I go limpin' home feelin' empty
Tears all in my eyes

I'd spend the last of my last ten cents
On a nickel bag of candy
And if I had just ten more cents
I think I'd take a ride
On the Staten Island ferry

Your waltz in here
With a handful of gimme
A mouthful of much obliged
I go home feeling empty
From all you signify
