"My Name Is Morgan" lyrics - THE CHAD MITCHELL TRIO

Well my name is Willie Morgan, and I'm a hard-luck workin' man
The motto of my whole life has been, "Be as thrifty as you can"
I never use a US Air Mail stamp when a five-cent stamp'll do
And if you ask me for a dollar or two, well here's what I'll say to you

[Chorus:]
My name is Morgan, but ain't J. P.
Ain't got no banks in this World that are named for me
My money's in my pocket, not AT&T
My name is Morgan, but ain't J. P.
I said it's Morgan, but ain't J. P. (after last verse only)

Now I went down to grocery store just to pick up an item or two
I had no need for a grocery cart, just little paper bag would do
I had to wait for an hour or more just to get a chance to pay
The man added up a figure and he held in his hand, and I nearly fainted away

[Chorus]

I took my gal to Broadway show that the whole town wanted to see
Well the taxi cost me eighty-five cents, it didn't mean a thing to me
I stepped up to that ticket booth and I laid my money down
When he said these seats'll be fifteen bucks, you could hear me all over this town

[Chorus]

I went walkin' down Bleeker Street with my lady friend, her name was Sue
Keepin' her out of them fancy shops was about all that I could do
She squealed with joy at a marvelous toy in the window of an antique shop
When the little old lady quoted a price, I thought my heart would stop

[Chorus]
