(Shel Silverstein)

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she
rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool
is her throne

And the jesters, they flock around her, and they
fight to win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the
Silver Dollar home

She arrives in all her splendour every night at
nine o'clock

And her chariot is a cross-town bus that stops
right down the block

The ol' piano minstrel plays a song as she walks
in

And the queen of the Silver Dollar, she's home
again

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she
rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool
is her throne

And the jesters flock around her, and fight to
win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the
Silver Dollar home

Her royal gown is a satin dress, that's stained
and slightly torn

And her sparkling jewels are rhinestones, and her
shoes are scuffed and worn

From the many roads she's travelled and the
wonderous sights she's seen

And I watch her and I pray God save the queen

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she
rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool
is her throne

And the jesters flock around her, and fight to
win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the
Silver Dollar home

The queen of the Silver Dollar is not as haughty
as she seems

She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary
dreams

But I found her and I won her, and I brought her
to this world

Yes I'm the man who made a queen of a simple
country girl

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she
rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool
is her throne

And the jesters flock around her, and fight to
win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the
Silver Dollar home

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she
rules this smokey kingdom.......
