Smart

My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more then one!
And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes-- I guess he didn't know
That three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!
And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head--
Too proud of me to speak!

I Just Want A Happy Life To Live

Giving up on dreams I've made,
To wine and shop all day.
And come home to have cake,
Served by a butler or an upstairs maid!

Giving up on dreams I've made,
For escapades to escape.
And never worry 'bout,
Dimes I saved...
From stocks and bonds,
Stashed away!

I just want a happy life to live.
And not be driven to fits.
I just want a healthy life that is...
Free of doctor bills.
I just want a happiness to give,
With a peace I've earned to keep!
And a joy I feel so deep!

Dot Baby Off Mine

Mine cracious! mine cracious! shust look here und see
A Deutscher so habby as habby can pe!
Der beoples all dink dot no prains I haf got;
Vas grazy mit trinking, or someding like dot:
Id vasn't pecause I trinks lager und vine;
Id vas all on aggount off dot baby off mine.

Dot schmall leedlc vellow I dells you vas qveer;
Not mooch pigger roundt as a goot glass off peer;
Mit a bare-footed hed, und nose but a schpeck;
A mout dot goes most to der pack off his neck;
Und his leedle pink toes mit der rest all combine
To gif sooch a charm to dot baby off mine.

I dells you dot baby vas von off der poys,
Und beats leedle Yawcob for making a noise.
He shust has pecun to shbeak goot English too;
Says " Mamma" und " Papa," und somedimes "Ah, goo!"
You don'd find a baby den dimes oudt off nine
Dot vas qvite so schmart as dot baby off mine.

Mellow My Mind

Baby mellow my mind,
Make me feel like a schoolboy on good time,
Jugglin nickels and dimes,
Satisfied with the fish on the line.
Ive been down the road and Ive come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Aint got nothing on those feelings that I had.
Something so hard to find,
A situation that can casualize your mind.
Ive been down the road and Ive come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Aint got nothing on those feelings that I had.
Baby mellow my mind,
Make me feel like a schoolboy on good time,
Jugglin nickels and dimes,
Satisfied with the fish on the line.

Fool Hearted Memory

Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
Shes on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didnt win
Theres an old love in his heart that he cant lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that its no use
Chorus:
Hes got a fool hearted memory
That wont let him see
That she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times

Dont You Rock Me Daddio

Me and my daddy was comin into town
(sail away lady sail away)
Round the billygoat leadin a hound
(sail away lady sail away)
Hound got dumped, billygoat jumped
(sail away lady sail away)
Throwd my brother right over that stump
(sail away lady sail away)
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Dont you rock me daddio
Well my old auntie promised me
(sail away lady sail away)
When shed die shed will to me
(sail away lady sail away)

Made You Look

[shotgun blast]
[old school break beat, thugs chant bravehearts! 7x]
[verse 1: nas]
Uh, uh, uh, now lets get it all in perspective
For all yall enjoyment, a song yall can step wit
Yall appointed me to bring rap justice
But I aint five-o, yall know its nas yo
Grey goose and a whole lotta hydro
Only describe us as soldier survivors
Stay laced in the best, well dressed with finesse
In a white tee lookin for wifie
Thug girl who fly and talks so nicely
Put her in the coupe so she can feel the nice breeze
We can drive thru the city no doubt, but dont say my cars topless
Say the titties is out, newness heres the anthem
Put your hand up that you shoot with, count your loot wit
Push the pool stick in your new crib, same hand that you hoop with
Swing around like you stu-pid, kinga the town, yeah I been that
You know I click-clack where you and yor mens at
Do the smurf, do the wop, baseball bat

Dollars drowned silver,
dimes, and quarters' sum sewered,

Innocent Times Of Jimmy Dean

Unique rebel, more innocent times
Age of drive in movies, soda shops
Bouffants, fast cars, Five ‘n Dimes
Safer streets, schools ‘n nicer Cops
