"$100,000 In Pennies" lyrics
"$100,000 In Pennies"
I broke into the bank on Sunday
And you should see the money I got
I couldn't drag it home until Monday
'Cause it sure weighed an awful lot
Then I sat down to count it
And much to my surprise
A whole lotta little round little brown coins
Rolled out in front of my eyes
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
Not one paper dollar or dime
And I really don't think there's many
Rich men with a problem like mine
And I really don't think this is any
Kind of ending for a perfect crime
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I'm spending it a penny at a time
Now a steak would sure taste delicious
And I've forgotten how beer would feel
But the man might get suspicious
If I gave him five hundred pennies for a meal
So I guess I'll weigh myself again
And buy another stick of gum
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I'm a living like a penniless bum
I've got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
Not one paper dollar or dime
And I really don't think there's many
Rich men with a problem like mine
And I really don't think this is any
Kind of ending for a perfect crime
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I'm spending it a penny at a time
I could buy myself a big limousine
And be a living like a movie star
But I'd have to hire a truck to haul the pennies
To the place where you buy the car
And I'd have to have a wagon
To haul the pennies to the place I'd hire the truck
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I ain't got a penny's worth of luck
I've got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
Not one paper dollar or dime
And I really don't think there's many
Rich men with a problem like mine
And I really don't think this is any
Kind of ending for a perfect crime
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies, Lord
And I'm spending it a penny at a time
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I'm spending it a penny at a time
