Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
A dime away from a hot dog,
two bucks away from a bed
All sorts of funky pictures
running around in my head
A picture of me rolling in dough
A picture of me lettin' it blow
A picture of all the people I owe
Wantin' to know where did he go?
Where did he go?
A dime away from a hot dog
Two bucks away from a bed
I turn to people and tell them
How bad I'm hurtin' for bread
But then when I try making a touch,
nobody comes through in the clutch
Po' Cripple's crowd can't
get him a crutch
Cause people as such
ain't helping you much, no!
A dime away from a hot dog,
two bucks away from a bed,
walking around trying to figure how
to get out of the red.
The president said don't feel depressed,
But if his car had been repossessed,
and the old sheriff came after the rest,
he would have guessed why
I'd be arrested with a
dime away from a hot dog,
two bucks away from a
All sorts of funky pictures
running around in my head
A picture of me rollin' in dope
They lettin' it blow
A picture of all the
people I ought to know
Oh, here we go
Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
Dime, away from the hot dog
For two bucks, away from the bed
Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
Can I get a dime?
Dime, away from the hot dog
So we please have care and love.
