They've Got Millions in Milwaukee

They ought to have a celebration

And pay their respects to me

Put my name up in neon lights

And then give me the key

To the city I've helped make so rich

By spending my last dime

On a cold beer in some honky tonk

To get a woman off of my mind

'Cause they've got millions in Milwaukee

That they made off of guys like me

Who can't stand the pain, a hurting' thing

When their baby leaves

They ought to put my picture on the beer can

So that woman of mine can see

They've got millions in Milwaukee

If I only had a penny

For all the suds I've soaked

I might even own me a brewery

Instead of being' broke

I know I spend a fortune

And the end is nowhere in sight

Bartender, how about one free round

Before you close it up tonight

'Cause they've got millions in Milwaukee

That they made off of guys like me

Who can't stand the pain of hurting' things

When their baby leaves

You ought to put my picture on the beer can

So that woman of mine can see

They've got millions in Milwaukee

And thanks to guys like me

They've got millions in Milwaukee
