Electric Six - Dime Dime Penny Dime lyrics

Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime Well, I make a little money playing rock and roll This is something I can do within the terms of my parole It's a numberless crime when times are tough I can rock around the block, but not enough I see an old lady walking down the street I'm hungry for crime when it's time to eat No cause for alarm, no need for alert 'Cause when I do it right nobody gets hurt A little bit of hunger Dig a little deep Mostly 'cause I'm in the backseat You gotta take what you do, even if it don't belong to you It was dime, dime, penny, dime Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime Put my? before the? won't be doing any time Dime, dime, penny, dime C'mon! Yes, I try to sit back I ain't giving up The beggar's beg, but I fill my cup I've got a poker face I'm a pretty good liar When I'm doing that which I desire It's a pretty good living It's an honest trade Society likes that I get paid It's a horn of plenty filled with green With better odds than a slot machine I see another mark Here she comes Ain't she carrying impressive sums But, damned, if it ain't true, she's saying I barely got nothing here for you There she goes again Dime, dime, penny, dime Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime Put my? before the? won't be doing any time, because of Dime, dime, penny, dime Dime, dime, dime, penny, dime, dime, dime, dime, penny, dime C'mon! Woo! C'mon open up with bad luck I used to be big, but now I s** The debt collectors, man, they can wait I can't even talk about going straight Now hold on a minute What's that I see It's a high-ball dusty coming for me See my fortune going absurd She looks like she's got money to burn I come from behind, snatched away Looks like it's finally my day But I can't believe my eyes It really shouldn't come as a surprise Woo! It was dime, dime, penny, dime Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime Put my? before the? won't be doing any time, because it's Dime, dime, penny, dime Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime If I had three pennies there's a quarter of a dime I'd be doing just fine with 69, because it's Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime Dime, Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime, Dime Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime
