[Doris Day, Buddy Cole Quartet, The Norman Luboff Choir - In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town lyrics]

I'm up in the world
But I'd give the world to
Be where I used to be a heavenly nest
Where I rest the best
Means more than the world to me

It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty it touches the ground
But my tumbled down shack by
An old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion is
Calling me back
I'd give up a palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace, it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there
With a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town
