Nickels and Dimes

歌詞

Have mercy on a poor boy's soul And please don't be too unkind I live my life on the edge of a knife Now I'm leavin' it all behind Oh, We blew those nickels and dimes Oh, We blew those nickels and dimes I got me a three-piece suit Set out on the make Now I serenade those rich old maids Like a sweet-talkin', two legged snake ( chorus ) I turned on my boyscout smile I stood up and gave her my seat Winked my eye and unzipped my fly And later we went up to her penthouse suite ( solo ) Every eye in the casino Is on the woman at the roulette wheel She was thirty-eight, a little over weight In her purse lay her charm and appeal ( chorus x 2 ) ( outro )
