The Nickel Song - Live At The Troubadour 1971

Well you know that I'm not a gambler

But I'm being gambled on

They put in a nickel

And I sing a little song

Da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da

They put in a nickel

And I sing a little song

Well I don't mind that they're lucky

But it seems like they always win

And gamblin' is illegal

In the state of mind I'm in

And if I had a nickel

For each time that I've been put on

I would be their nickel man

And I'd sing their nickel song

You know

They're only puttin' in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

You know

They're only puttin' in a nickel

And they want a dollar song

Well you know

What's wrong, what did I do wrong?

Why can't people

Well you know I don't know so many things

But I know what's been goin' on

We are only puttin' in a little

To get rid of a lot that's wrong

And if we had a nickel

For each time that we've been put on

We'd all be their nickel man

And we'd sing their nickel song

You know

We're only puttin' in a little

To get rid of a lot that's wrong

Oh, we're only puttin' in a nickel

And we want a dollar song

Well you know that I'm not a gambler

But I'm being gambled on

They put in a nickel

And I sing a little song

Da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

You know

We're only puttin' in a nickel

And we want a dollar

Oh, we're only puttin' in a little

To get rid of a lot that's

You know

We're only puttin' in a nickel

And we want a dollar song
