If I had a nickel
If I had a dime
If I had a nickel
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
There's an old man on the corner
Shouting at the passing cars
Waving his arms and rolling his eyes
People look away as they hurry by
There's another man in the doorway
He's got a Bible in his hand
He's preachin' 'bout peace and love
But he ain't convincing that old man
He says, "If I had a nickel for every time I heard that line
I would be a millionaire, brother, can you spare a dime?"
Ah, brother, can you spare a dime?
See the man again in that window
All dressed in the latest style
Exactly what the influential man about town
Is wearing instead of a smile
See that woman there wrapped in a blanket
Ah yes, the one with the kitten in her lap
She's still got the time and the heart to share, to care
And she's givin' it all to that cat
Ah, just think about that, if you will
And you know, if I had a nickel for every time I walked that line
I would be a millionaire, for sure, yeah
And you know
If I had a nickel
If I had a dime
If I had a nickel
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh, brother
Yes, if I had a nickel
