Dimes In The Jar - The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Brian Setzer

Don’t you know baby

The faster you get there

The longer it takes you to leave

And ain’t it so

That the nicer they treat you

The more they’re inclined to deceive

So it goes baby I’m here for the long run

They told me to come as you are

I found a good one

She looks like she could run

She looks like the good one so far

Never got handed a lollar by no one

I earned every dime in the jar

She wants to catch you

And she wants to fetch you

And she wants to wrap you all up

Into a bundle, if you make a bundle

Of case you’re just plain outta luck

It starts our dandy

And she’ll give you candy

But that’s only part of the trap

She gets an attorney

And his name is Bernie

And he’ll string you up like a cat

Never got handed a dollar by no one

I earned every dime just like that

Every dime in the jar

Comes from runnin'

From dive bar to bar

Every dime in the jar comes from

Diggin' and scratchin' and

Stealin' the gold from the stars

Please understand me

Ain’t nobody handing me

Dimes that I keep in the jar

When I was a young boy

My daddy had nothin'

Momma would save every dime

Now mommas have nannies

And house cleaning spannies

And daddies will lose every time

They don’t save dimes now

Not even dollars

They don’t save nothin' you earn

Now I don’t know how

I’m sure in the end now

There’s some place

Where thy gonna burn

Never got handed a dollar

By no one

And here is the lesson I learned

Every dime in the jar

Comes from runnin'

From dive bar to bar

Every dime in the jar comes from

Diggin' and scratchin' and

Stealin' the gold from the stars

Every dime in the jar

Comes from runnin'

From dive bar to bar

Every dime in the jar comes from

Diggin' and scratchin' and

Stealin' the gold from the stars

Please understand me

Ain’t nobody handing me

Dimes that I keep in the jar
