|
Don't you know, baby? |
|
The faster you get there |
|
The longer it takes you to leave |
|
And ain't it so |
|
That the nicer they treat you |
|
The more they're inclined to deceive |
|
So it goes, baby, |
|
I'm here for the long run |
|
They told me to come as you are |
|
I found a good one |
|
She looks like she could run |
|
She looks like a good one so far |
|
Never got handed a dollar by no one |
|
I earned every dime in the jar |
|
She wants to catch you |
|
And she wants to fetch you |
|
And she wants to wrap you all up |
|
Into a bundle, if you make a bundle |
|
Of cash, you're just plain outta luck |
|
It starts out dandy |
|
And she'll give you candy |
|
But that's only part of the trap |
|
She gets an attorney |
|
And his name is |
|
BernieAnd he'll string you up like a cat |
|
Never got handed a dollar by no one |
|
I earned every dime just like that |
|
Every dime in the jar |
|
Comes from runnin' |
|
From dive bar to bar |
|
Every dime in the jar comes |
|
From diggin' and scratchin' |
|
And stealin' the gold |
|
From the stars |
|
Please, understand me |
|
Ain't nobody handing me |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
|
Every dime in the jar |
|
Comes from runnin' |
|
From dive bar to bar |
|
Oh yeahEvery dime in the jar comes from |
|
From diggin' and scratchin' |
|
And stealin' the gold |
|
From the stars |
|
Please, understand me |
|
Ain't nobody handing me |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
|
When I was a young boy |
|
My daddy had nothin' |
|
Momma would save every dime |
|
Now mommas have nannies |
|
And house cleaning spannies |
|
And daddies will lose every time |
|
They don't save dimes now |
|
Not even dollars |
|
They don't save nothin' you earn |
|
Now I don't know how |
|
I'm sure in the end now |
|
There's some place |
|
Where they gonna burn |
|
Never got handed a dollar |
|
By no one and here is |
|
The lesson |
|
I learnedEvery dime in the jar |
|
Comes from runnin' |
|
From dive bar to bar |
|
Every dime in the jar comes |
|
From diggin' and scratchin' |
|
And stealin' the gold |
|
From the stars |
|
Every dime in the jar |
|
Comes from runnin' |
|
From dive bar to bar |
|
Oh yeahEvery dime in the jar comes |
|
From diggin' and scratchin' |
|
And stealin' the gold |
|
From the stars |
|
Please, understand me |
|
Ain't nobody handing me |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
|
Dimes that |
|
I keep in the jar |
