LOAN ME TWO TILL TUESDAY
Miller

as rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio  
Dec 4th 1945


Let me tell you 'bout a friend o' mine,
He's very popular, but he has a big line;
He always has his money, yet he's always borrowin' mine!

He says, "Loan me two till Tuesday,
And I will pay you back,
Or make it three till Thursday,
And I will dig you, Jack!".

"You know I have the money,
But it's in the bank,
So loan me five till Friday
And I'll have you to thank!".

You don't have time to say a thing,
'Cause before you can open your mouth, he's right back in full swing!

With, "Loan me two till Tuesday,
And I will pay you back,
Or make it three till Thursday,
And I will dig you, Jack!".

You don't have time to say a thing,
'Cause before you can open your mouth, he's right back in full swing!

With, "Loan me two till Tuesday,
And I will pay you back,
Or make it three till Thursday,
And I will dig you, Jack!".
If you can let me have just two,
I'll be more than obligated to you
Till Tuesday,
When I can pay you back!
