Welcome back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBvSNRGWIO8 THE NICKEL SONG Writer: Melanie Safka Live at Nyon Folk Festival July 19, 1979 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 They put in a nickel And I sing a little song Well, I don't mind that they're lucky But it seems that 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 a nickel song They're only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song They're only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song Well, you know I don't know so many things But I know what's been goin' on We're only putting 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 a nickel song You know they're only putting in a nickel And they want a dollar song Oh, they're only putting in a nickel And they 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-d
