Datin' With No Dough Lyrics - Singles - Royal Crown Revue

(Eddie Nichols/Bill Ungerman) 

Arranged by Bill Ungerman 

I'm fly and flash and my jive is sweet 

Pressed in pleat right to my feet 

But when it comes to cash 

I'm incomplete 

Datin' with no dough 

I told my doll I'd take her on a date 

On the condition that she'd have to wait 

'Cause I've never owned a car in the state 

I'll be datin' with no dough 

The valets and the maitre d' 

Roll out the red carpet for me 

My looks are deceiving Lord 

'Cause when the check comes I'll be gone 

Guess I'm deadbeat but what a seller 

If flash were cash I'd be a Rockefeller 

As long as my game goes unknown 

I'll be datin' with no dough 

I took my baby uptown 

To show her that I had some class 

The drink tab I could not pay 

You know I ended the date with her foot up my 

Yes I'm a deadbeat but what a seller 

If flash were cash I'd be a Rockefeller 

As long as my game goes unknown 

I'll be datin' with no dough
