The 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
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 their nickel man and I'd sing a little 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 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 won a dollar song
Oh, they're only putting in a nickel
and they won a dollar song

Yeah...
