Nickel and Dime - Nursery Rhyme

A nickel and dime 
Had lost their shine 
When they slipped into the old couch in the parlor 

Their paths have been crossed 
When they both had got lost 
When they were exchanged from change of a dollar 

The dime and the nickel 
Still both in a pickle 
But they know they'll be found in due time

But until they do 
They'll stick together like glue 
Until they get found and cleaned from their grime
