I've Got Five Dollars and It's Saturday Night

"I've Got Five Dollars and It's Saturday Night" is a song written by Ted Daffin and originally recorded as a duet by country singer George Jones and pop singer Gene Pitney. When Jones signed with Musicor after leaving United Artists in 1965, he was paired with Pitney, who was also signed to Musicor, and they recorded two LPs worth of duets, but "I've Got Five Dollars and It's Saturday Night" was their biggest hit, peaking at #16. Jones had previously recorded the song in the 1950s.
