Nickels And Dimes

Have mercy on a poor boy's soul

Please don't be too unkind

I lived my life on the edge of a knife

But now I'm leaving it all behind

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

I got me a three-piece suit

And a satin on the make

And I serenaded those rich old maids

Just like a sweet-talkin' two-legged snake

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

I turned on my boy scout smile

I stood up and gave her my seat

I winked my eye and unzipped my fly

And later we went up to her penthouse suite

Every eye in the casino

Was on the woman at the roulette wheel

She was thirty-eight, a little overweight

In her purse, she had charm and appeal

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes

Oh, we blew those nickels and dimes
