Lyrics

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 like 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 their 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 their 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. 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-da.

They're only putting in a nickel. And they want a dollar song. Oh, they're only putting in a little. To get rid of a lot...

They're only putting in a nickel. And they want a dollar song.
