#QueerQuote: “You Only Think of Dollar Bills / Tied Neatly in a Stack / But When You Kiss a Dollar Bill / It Doesn’t Kiss You Back” – Herb Magidson

Snapshot from the collection of S. Rutledge

You never go to night clubs and

You just don’t care to dance

You don’t have time for silly things

Like moonlight and romance

You only think of dollar bills

Tied neatly in a stack

But when you kiss a dollar bill,

It doesn’t kiss you back

From the collection of the writer

Enjoy Yourself is a popular song from 1949, with music by Carl Sigman and lyrics by Herb Magidson.

A bestselling version of the song, recorded by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, was released by Decca Records. The record first reached the Billboard chart in 1950 and stayed in the Top Ten for 19 weeks. It was covered byBing Crosby, Doris Day, Tommy Dorsey, Louis Prima, the ska band The Specials, and The Supremes.

Here are all the lyrics:

You never go to night clubs and

You just don’t care to dance

You don’t have time for silly things

Like moonlight and romance

You only think of dollar bills

Tied neatly in a stack

But when you kiss a dollar bill,

It doesn’t kiss you back

Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think)

You work and work

For years and years

You’re always on the go

You never take the minute off

Too busy making dough

Someday you’ll say

You’ll have your fun

When you’re a millionaire

Imagine all the fun you’ll have

In your ‘ol rocking chair

Enjoy yourself (It’s later than you think)

Enjoy yourself

While you’re still in the pink

The years go by

As quickly as a wink

Enjoy yourself

Enjoy yourself (It’s later than you think)

C’mon now, you gotta have fun!

You’re gonna take that ocean trip

No matter come what may

You’ve got your reservations but

You just can’t get away

Next year for sure you’ll see the world

You’ll really get around

But how far can you travel when

You’re six feet underground?

Enjoy yourself (It’s later than you think)

Get out and see the world!

You worry when the weather’s cold

You worry when it’s hot

You worry when you’re doing well

You worry when you’re not

It’s worry worry all the time

You don’t know how to laugh

They’ll think of something funny when

They write your epitaph!

You never go to nightclubs

You just don’t care to dance

You don’t have time for silly things

Like moonlight and romance

You only think of dollar bills

Tied neatly in a stack

But when you kiss a dollar bill,

It doesn’t kiss you back

Enjoy yourself

It’s later than you think

Enjoy yourself

While you’re still in the pink

The years go by

As quickly as a wink

Enjoy yourself (It’s later than you think)
