I'm not a stamp collector but I've got a hobby too,Bringin' home a souvenir, trinkets old and new.Feathers from a rooster fight, a whistle from a fair,I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there.Well, I've got a piece of silky thread from bashful Mary's gown,A nugget from a stream of gold, and a red nose from a clown.A horseshoe from a rodeo, a claw from a bear;Well, I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there.I always get a souvenir everywhere I go.Well, I've got some little something from every girl I know.A pair of fuzzy bobby socks, a lock of curly hair,I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there.Well, I took a burned out piston from a winning racer car.Well, I've even got a G-string, from Gene Sheppard's guitar.I've collected everything, soap to silverware,I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there.Well, now I'm not bragging when I say with women I have dealt.Well, you can tell I've been there, by the notches on my belt.Yes, I've collected different things from every love affair,I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there.I've got a fine collection, but you're my pride and joy.You're the one I like the best, you make me a happy, boy.To trade you for a million things hon, I wouldn't dare,'Cause you and me are gonna get me another souvenir...
