Although I Dropped $100,000 in the Market (From "Symposium on Popular Songs")

Although I dropped a hundred thousand

In the market, baby

I found a million dollars in your smile

Yes, sir!

Stocks are crashing every day

Banks are failing too

But who cares if those skies are gray

As long as I have you, dear?

Once I was a millionaire

On margin

Now I'm singing in the breadline

All the while

Although I dropped a hundred thousand

In the market, baby

I found a million dollars in your smile

Yes, sir!

There I was, sitting on top of my lonely flagpole

Thinking of the money I lost

The factory was closed and who knew when we'd start

Manufacturing running boards again

How could I let a smile be my umbrella

When it was stormy weather all the time?

Although potatoes were cheaper

Now was definitely not the time to fall in love

And then I spied you

Selling apples on the corner

Delicious

And you looked up at me and smiled

And the sun came shining through

And I slid down from my pole

Because I knew it was pointless

Although I dropped a hundred thousand

In the market, baby

I found a million dollars in your smile

I'm happy

I found a million dollars in your smile

You betcha

I found a million dollars in your smile

Yes, sir!
