Nickel Song

Well, you know that I'm not a gambler

But I'm bein' gambled on

They put in a nickel

And I sing a little song

Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da, da-da-da

They put in a nickel

And I sing a little song

Well, I don't mind that they're lucky

But it seems like they always win

And gamblin' is illegal

In the state of mind I'm in

And if I had a nickel

For each time that I've been put on

I would be that nickel, man

And I'd sing the nickel song

They're only puttin' in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

Oh, they're only puttin' in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

Well, you know I don't know so many things

But I know what's been goin' on

We're only puttin' in a little

To get rid of a lot that's wrong

And if we had a nickel

For each time that we've been put on

We'd all be that nickel, man

And would sing the nickel song

You know, they're only puttin' in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

Oh, they're only puttin' in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

Well, you know that I'm not a gambler

But I'm bein' gambled on

They put in a nickel

And I sing a little song
