Dime, Dime, Penny Dime

Well I make a little money playing rock and roll
It’s something I can do within the terms of my parole
It’s not good times 'cause times are tough
I can rock around the block, but it’s not enough
I see an old lady walking down the street
I’m hungry for crime when it’s time to eat
No cause for alarm, no need for alert
'Cause when I do it right, nobody gets hurt
A little bit of hunger
Mostly 'cause I’m on
You gotta take what you’re due, even if it don’t belong to you
It was dime dime, penny, dime
Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
won’t be doing any time, cause it’s
Dime dime, penny, dime
, I ain’t giving up
I’ve got a poker face, I’m a pretty good liar
I’m doing that which I desire
It’s a pretty good living, it’s an honest trade
It’s a horn of plenty, and filled with greed
With better odds than a slot machine
I see another mark, here she goes
Ain’t she carrying 'pressive sums
But damned if it ain’t true, she said
«I barely got nothing here for you»
There she go again
Dime dime, penny, dime
Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
won’t be doing any time, cause it’s
Dime dime, penny, dime
Dime dime dime, penny, dime dime dime dime, penny, dime
it’s bad luck
I used to be in big, but now I suck
Those debt collectors, man, they can’t wait
I can’t even talk about going straight
Now hold on a minute, what’s that I see?
It’s a high-ball dusty coming for me
See my fortune’s gonna turn
She looks like she’s got money to burn
Come up from behind, snatch away
Looks like it’s finally my day
But I can’t believe my eyes
By now, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise
It was dime, dime, penny, dime
Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
won’t be doing any time, cause it’s
Dime dime, penny, dime
Dime, dime, penny, dime
If I had three pennies, that’s a quarter of a dime
I’d be doing just fine with 69, 'cause it’s
Dime dime, penny, dime
Dime dime dime, penny, dime dime
Dime dime, penny, dime
