But I'm being gambled on
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Dadn da dadn da dadn da da da
Dadn da dadn 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 gambling 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 the nickel man and I'd sing a nickel song
They're only putting in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
Oh, they're only putting in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
Well, I know I don't know so many things
But I know what's been going 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 the nickel man and we'd sing a nickel song, you know
They're only putting in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
Oh, they're only putting in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
Well, you know that I'm not a gambler
But I'm being gambled on
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Dadn da dadn da dadn da da da
Dadn da dadn da da da
Dadn da dadn da da da, Da da dadn da da da
