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 da da da da da da da da da They just put in a nickel And I sing a little song
Well I don' t mind that their luck 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 nickel song
They' r only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song Ya they' r 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 going on With only putting in a little tune 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'll all be their nickel man And we' d sing a nickel song
They' re only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song Ya, they' re only putting in a little To get rid of a lot that's wrong
Da da da da da da da da da da
They' re only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song Da da da da da da da da da da They' re only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song Da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da
