throughout history mankind has been plagued with triangles
a there’s the eternal triangle
the isosceles triangle
and the schrons flippus thats the one yeah
however this song is about a friend of mine
who bought an automobile
dollar down and a dollar a week
and everytime he turned the wheel
dollar down and a dollar a week
he got a credit card for that new machine
dollar down and a dollar a week
and he kept it full of gasoline
dollar down and a dollar a week
just a dollar down and a dollar a week
you can get all the things you seek
for a dollar down and a dollar a week
well he went speeding on down the road
and kissing his gal upon her cheek
they took him to jail but he put up bail
dollar down and a dollar a week
the judge did fine him fifty bucks
and asked if he would like to speak
he said ‘judge if i may i’d like to pay
dollar down and a dollar a week
just a dollar down and a dollar a week
you can get all the things you seek
for a dollar down and a dollar a week
when he got out he married that gal
dollar down and a dollar a week
he bought a wedding ring that was pretty cheap
dollar down and a dollar a week
refridgerator and a washing machine
dollar down and a dollar a week
and the food stayed cold and the clothes stayed clean
dollar down and a dollar a week
just a dollar down and a dollar a week
you can get all the things you seek
for a dollar down and a dollar a week
they got themselves a little home
dollar down and a dollar a week
with a second mortgage and a pretty good loan
dollar down and a dollar a week
he said to his wife ‘it’s a pretty good life’
dollar down and a dollar a week
and she said ‘honey we don’t need much money’
dollar down and a dollar a week
just a dollar down and a dollar a week
you can get all the things you seek
for a dollar down and a dollar a week
but six little kids did soon arrive
dollar down and a dollar a week
he had so many worries that he could not sleep
dollar down and a dollar a week
as their debts began to mount
they added them up apon a sheet
they said with tears ‘well take a thousand years at a
dollar down and a dollar a week
just a dollar down and a dollar a week
you can get all the things you seek
for a dollar down
and a dollar a week
