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

Well I don't mind that
They're lucky but it seems like they always win
And gambling 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 little 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 I don't know so many things
But I know what's been going on
They're only puttin' in a nickel
To get rid of a lot that's wrong

And if we had a nickel for each time that we put on
We don't need a nickel man and we sing a nickel song

Sing the nickel song

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