As I was walking down the street last night A pretty little girl came into sight I bowed and smiled and asked her name She said, "Hold it bud, I don´t play that game" I reached in my pocket, and to her big surprise There was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes. On a greenback, greenback dollar bill Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll She looked at me with that familiar desire Her eyes lit up like they were on fire She said, "My name´s Flo, and you´re on the right track, But look here, daddy, I wear furs on my back, So if you want to have fun in this man´s land, Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands." On a greenback, greenback dollar bill Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll I didn´t know what I was getting into But I popped Lincoln and Jackson, too I didn´t mind seeing them fade out of sight, I just knew I´d have some fun last night Whenever you in town and looking for a thrill If Lincoln can´t get it, Jackson sure will On a greenback, greenback dollar bill Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll (bridge) We went to a nightspot where the lights were low Dined and danced, and I was ready to go I got out of my seat, and when Flo arose, She said, "Hold it daddy, while I powder my nose" I sat back down with a smiling face, While she went down to the powder place With my greenback, greenback dollar bill Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll The music stopped and the lights came on, I looked around and saw I was all alone I didn´t know how long Flo had been gone But a nose powder sure didn´t take that long I left the place with tears in my eyes As I waved Lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye On a greenback, greenback dollar bill Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll
