A favorite from my long ago chidhood.

LYRICS

There's a Pawnshop on the corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
And I walk up and down 'neath the clock
(By the pawn shop on the corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
But I ain't got a thing left to hock

She was peaches, she was honey
And she cost me all my money
'Cause the world 'round the town was her dream (Was her dream)
Took her dancin', took her dinin'
'Til her blue eyes were shinin'
With the sights that they never had seen (Never seen)

If you should run into a golden haired angel
And ask her tonight for a date
She'll tell you, somewhere, there's a rich millionaire
Who is calling again about eight

And I've just gotta get five or ten (Five or ten)
From the pawn shop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Gotta be with my angel again

She was peaches, she was honey
And she cost me all my money
'Cause the world 'round the town was her dream (Was her dream)
(Took her dancin', took her dinin'
'Til her blue eyes
Were shinin'
With the sights that they never had seen)

If you should run into a golden haired angel
And ask her tonight for a date
She'll tell you, somewhere, there's a rich millionaire
Who is calling again about eight


There's a Pawnshop on the corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
And I've just gotta get five or ten (Five or ten)
From the pawn shop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Gotta be with my angel again

Gotta be with my angel again
