One cent, two cents,
	Nickel and dime
Two bits, four bits,
	A dollar this time.

Ship me a grasshopper

Fly like a whippoorwill 
	O'er Anaheim....

Because you, its owner, are so fickle

  you heard "butter brickle"
or saw the hammer and sickle

I bribed him with a shiny nickel
Took a little bite
And to my delight
His puckered face, gave me a tickle

my lady thinks I'm cheap to the nickel,

    toward a young man with large bills to pay

You are today 

Worth to you a dime, 

To me a nickel

To her a penny

  A house 30 million 

    A man a house

     The past a Man


      Earth the future

       The future nothing....

Whose profile was engraved on a coin
He was so proud
He crowed out loud
It was money that kept him going.
