In Between Jobs (Purple Version)

If I had a nickel

For every dime you have

I'd have half your money

And you'd talk about not half bad

More like ten times as good

I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to

Walk around with more money if they could

If you could just cut me off a little bit of it

That would surely do me good

I'm in between jobs

Can you dig it?

I knew that you could

Hoo! Can you dig it?

I was hopin' that you would

There's only one way to win at a shell game

Be the one that gets the other guy to play

You think I'm not bright, you might be right

I might have been born yesterday but I was up all night

I might have come in here a little cross-eyed lookin'

But I'm walkin' out of here alright

I'll be wearin' my dark sunglasses

'Cause the sun still shines as bright down on you when you're

In between jobs

Can you dig it?

I knew that you could

Hoo! Can you dig it?

I was hopin' that you would

I seen a hundred-dollar bill one time

Leanin' up against a chain-link fence

I been walkin' around outside lookin' down at fences ever since

It's the root of all evil, yes, I agree

And I suppose that the blossom of it would be my kind of poverty

I know how mad I'm gettin' just thinkin' about

How much more you got than me

And I'm thinkin' now what's keepin' me from killin' this guy

And just takin' his shit from him?

Can you dig it?

I knew that you could

Hey, can you dig it?

I was hopin' that you would
