traditional, c Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
My mother gave me a penny
To buy some candy
I couldn't buy the candy
It cost a nickel
A nick nick nick nick nickel
It cost a nickel
A piece of penny candy,
It cost a nickel.
My mother gave me a nickel
To buy a pickle
I couldn't buy the pickle
It cost a quarter!
A quar quar quar quar quarter
It cost a quarter
A little nickel pickle
It cost a quarter
My mother gave me a quarter
To buy some soda water
I couldn't buy the water
It cost a dollar!
A do do do do dollar
It cost a dollar
For bubbles in the water
It cost a dollar.
My mother gave me a dollar
so I wouldn't holler
You should have heard me holler
Cause what can you get with a dollar?
Yes, everything is higher
It's just outrageous
Yes, everything is higher
Except my mother's wages!
