A DOLLAR DOWN AND A DOLLAR A WEEK A friend of mine bought a radio, For a dollar down and a dollar a week; Says he, It's the easiest trap I know, A dollar down and a dollar a week. So he bought a rug and a fountain pen, A run-about car out here and then A set of the lives of the famous men For a dollar down and a dollar a week. Then he bought a suit and a hat and shoes For a dollar down and a dollar a week, Joined the lodge and paid his dues, Was a dollar down and a dollar a week. And he bought a ring that was fair to see For the lily-white hand of his bride-to-be; When he got married, the minister's fee Was a dollar down and a dollar a week, When the baby came, the doctor got A dollar down and a dollar a week, My friend he clothed and fed that tot With a dollar down and a dollar a week. At last said his wife, "I must be free, These weekly payments are ruining me" She got a divorce and the alimony Was a dollar down and a dollar a week.
