Nickel Song Lyrics

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
