She arrives in all her splendor    Each night at nine o?clock   Her chariot is the crosstown bus    That stops right down the block   Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in   And the Queen of the Silver Dollar?s home again      She?s the Queen of the Silver Dollar   She rules this smokey kingdom   Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne   Now the jesters flock around her tryin? to win her favors   To see which one will take the    Queen of the Silver Dollar home      Now her royal dress is satin    It?s shabby and it?s torn   The royal jewels are rhinestones   The shoes are scuffed and worn   Of the many roads she?s been down,   And the places that she?s seen   Well they all look at her and say God save the queen      Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar    Is not as haughty as she seems   She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams   But there?s a man who found her    And he brought her to this world   He?s the one who made a queen of a simple country girl      Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar   I rule this smokey kingdom   Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne   Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors   To see which one will take the    Queen of the Silver Dollar home      Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar   I rule this smokey kingdom   Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne   Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors   To see which one will take the    Queen of the Silver Dollar home
