("On The Nickel" by Tom Waits)
♪ Sticks and stones will break my bones ♪
♪ I always will be true ♪
♪ And when your mama's dead and gone ♪
♪ I'll sing this lullaby ♪
♪ Just for you ♪
♪ And what becomes of
all the little boys ♪
♪ Who never comb their hair ♪
♪ They're lined up all around the block ♪
♪ On the nickel over there ♪
♪ So better bring a bucket ♪
♪ There's a hole in the pail ♪
♪ And if you don't get my letter ♪
♪ Then you'll know that I'm in jail ♪
♪ And what becomes of
all the little boys ♪
♪ Who never say their prayers ♪
♪ They're sleepin' like a baby ♪
♪ On the nickel over there ♪
♪ If you chew tobacco ♪
♪ And wish upon a star ♪
♪ You'll find out where
the scarecrows sit ♪
♪ Just like punch lines between the cars ♪
♪ And I know a place where a royal flush ♪
♪ Never beat a pair ♪
♪ Even Thomas Jefferson ♪
♪ Is on the nickel over there ♪
♪ So ring around the rosie ♪
♪ Sleepin' in the rain ♪
♪ You're always late for supper ♪
♪ Man, you let me down,
let me down again ♪
♪ I thought I heard a mockingbird ♪
♪ Roosevelt knows where ♪
♪ You can skip the line with Grady Tuck ♪
♪ On the nickel over there ♪
♪ So what becomes of all the little boys ♪
♪ Who run away from home ♪
♪ The world just keeps gettin' bigger ♪
♪ Once you get out on your own ♪
♪ So here's to all the little boys ♪
♪ The sandman takes you where ♪
♪ You're sleepin' with a pillow man ♪
♪ On the nickel over there ♪
♪ So climb up through that button hole ♪
♪ And fall right up the stairs ♪
♪ And I'll show you where
the short dogs grow ♪
♪ On the nickel ♪
♪ Over there ♪
