I Always Get a Souvenir

歌詞

I'm not a stamp collector but I've got a hobby too Bringin' home a souvenir, trinkets old and new Feathers from a rooster fight, a whistle from a fair I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there. Well, I've got a piece of silky thread from bashful Mary's gown A nugget from a stream of gold and a red nose from a clown A horseshoe from a rodeo, a claw from a bear Well, I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there. I always get a souvenir everywhere I go Well, I've got some little something from every girl I know A pair of fuzzy bobby socks, a lock of curly hair I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there. --- Instrumental --- Well, I took a burned out piston from a winning racer car Well, I've even got a G string from Gene Sheppard's guitar I've collected everything, soap to silverware I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there. Well, now I'm not bragging when I say with women I have dealt Well, you can tell I've been there by the notches on my belt Yes, I've collected different things from every love affair I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there. I've got a fine collection but you're my pride and joy You're the one I like the best, you make me a happy boy To trade you for a million things hon, I wouldn't dare 'Cause you and me are gonna get me another souvenir...
