Dime, Dime, Penny Dime - Electric Six

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

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

Woo!

C’mon open up with bad luck

I used to be big, but now I suck

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
