Silver Dollar

Bobby Darin


Don’t you know …

That a man without a woman
Is like a ship without a sail
A boat without a rudder
Or a fish without a tail.

And a man without a woman
Is like a wreck upon the sand
There's only one thing worse in the universe
That’s a woman without a man.

Now you can throw a silver dollar
Down on the ground
And it’ll roll because it’s round
A woman never knows
What a good man she's got
Until, he puts her down.

So listen, my honey … give a listen to me
I want you to understand
That if you don’t wanna be like a silver dollar
You better be good to this man.

You throw a silver dollar
Down upon that ground
And it’ll roll because it’s round
Yeah … a woman never knows
What a good man she got
Until, he puts her down.

So give a listen, my honey … listen to me
I want you to understand
That if you don’t wanna be like a silver dollar
You better be good to this man.
I … mean …

If you don’t wanna be like a silver dollar
You better be good to this man.

One more time …

That if you don’t wanna be like a silver dollar
Woman … better be good to this man
