Coin laundry

There I was sitting on the top of the world
In a coin laundry
Well I could have been royalty
Sitting in the palace like a queen
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me?
Have you got a house on a hill and a bed for three?
Do you have a story/Do you have a story for me?
Do you know the one where
We'll all live happily
So now I'm here sitting on the edge
Throwing these stones to the long lost friends
I could have been a common theif
Sitting in the dirt quite happily
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me?
Maybe just an hour or two and a pot of tea
Have you got a memory/Have you got a memory for me?
Tell me about the days when you were seventeen
Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me?
Have you got a little old house and a lemon tree?
Do you have a reason? Do you have a reason for me?
Can I be the girl that you met in the coin laundry?
