Nickel Song lyrics

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

Da-n-da da-n-da da-n-da-da-da

N-da-n-da da-n-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 gambling is illegal

In this 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 their 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, you 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 their nickel man

And we'd sing a nickel song

You know, they're only putting in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

Ohhh, 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

Da-n-da da-n-da da-n-da da-n-da

Da-da da-n-da-da-da ...
