− | ==Text==
| |
− | : My dad gave me one dollar bill
| |
− | : 'Cause I'm his smartest son,
| |
− | : And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
| |
− | : 'Cause two is more then one!
| |
− | :
| |
− | : And then I took the quarters
| |
− | : And traded them to Lou
| |
− | : For three times - I guess he don't know
| |
− | : That three is more then two!
| |
− | :
| |
− | : Just then, along came old blind Bates
| |
− | : And just 'cause he can't see
| |
− | : He gave me four nickles for my three dimes,
| |
− | : And four is more then three!
| |
− | :
| |
− | : And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
| |
− | : Down at the seed-feed store,
| |
− | : And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
| |
− | : And five is more then four!
| |
− | :
| |
− | : And then I went and showed my dad,
| |
− | : And he got red in the cheeks
| |
− | : And closed his eyes and shook his head -
| |
− | : Too proud of me to speak!
