Lyrics

(Dm)Sit tin’ on a mil lion, sit tin’ on it ev ’ry day.

Can’t make no mon ey giv in’ your

stuff a way.

Why don’t you (Gm)do now,

like the mil lion aires do?

Put your stuff on the mar ket

and make a mil lion too.

(Dm)Fay’s a bet tin’ wom an, she bets on ev ’ry hand.

She’s a trick in’ moth er for you ev ’ry where she land.

(Gm)do now,

like the mil lion aires do?

Put your stuff on the mar ket

and make a mil lion too.

May’s a good look in’ frail, she lives down by the jail.

On her back, though she got

hot stuff for sale.

Why don’t you (Gm)do now

Put your (A7)stuff on the mar ket

a good look in’ frail, she lives down by the jail.

On her back, though she got

hot stuff for sale.

Why don’t you (Gm)do now

like the mil lion aires do?

Put your (A7)stuff on the mar ket

and make a mil lion too.

Put your stuff on the mar ket

and make a mil lion too.
