The nickel song

they put in a nickel and i sing a little song
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 that 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 their nickel man
and i'd sing a little song
they're only putting in a nickel and
they want a dollar song
they're only putting in a little to
get rid of a lot that's
wrong.
well i don't know so many things
but i know what's been goin' on
we're only putting 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 their nickel man
and we'd sing a nickel song
you know they're only putting in a nickel
and they win a dollar song
oh, yeah, they're only putting in a little
to get rid of a lot that's wrong
