Buffalo Nickel |
| I walked up to the counter with a buffalo nickel |
| Was gonna give him half, but instead he charged me triple |
| He said it’s twenty on the money |
| What you’re paying for it honey |
| I said man you must be joking |
| He said go ahead and try me |
| Now he’s lookin' at me funny |
| And my nickel’s laying sunny-side down |
| I hold out just to get myself a little bit corrected |
| A hot collar isn’t any way to get yourself respected |
| And though I aim to be emphatic |
| There’s an awful lot of static |
| 'Cause you’ve got a lot of heart, but your moves are enigmatic |
| If you’re acting too erratic it’s my semi-automatic response |
| Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah |
| Hey, hey, hey, hey |
| You and I (Workin' around each other) |
| Workin' around each other |
| I got caught upset-looking like a little shadow |
| So mad 'cause I couldn’t shake the noise out of the rattle |
| It was mean of me to say, but I meant it when I said |
| That I guess I’ll do all the work, I guess you take all the credit |
| If you read well then you read it |
| I’ll just be a dog and shed it alright |
