Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's only a dime folks, one thin dime, just
one tenth of a dollar.
Come on in and see Stella the snake dancer (Is it real?)
She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake.
(She looks like a fake to me) (Let's go see her) (It costs too
much)
Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella. She shimmies,
