Lyrics Dime, Dime, Penny Dime - Electric Six

Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime

Well, I make a little money playing rock and roll
This is something I can do within the terms of my parole
It's a numberless crime when times are tough
I can rock around the block, but 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
Dig a little deep
Mostly 'cause I'm in the backseat
You gotta take what you do, even if it don't belong to you

It was dime, dime, penny, dime
Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
Put my? before the? won't be doing any time
Dime, dime, penny, dime
C'mon!

Yes, I try to sit back
I ain't giving up
The beggar's beg, but I fill my cup
I've got a poker face
I'm a pretty good liar
When I'm doing that which I desire

It's a pretty good living
It's an honest trade
Society likes that I get paid
It's a horn of plenty filled with green
With better odds than a slot machine

I see another mark
Here she comes
Ain't she carrying impressive sums
But, damned, if it ain't true, she's saying
I barely got nothing here for you

There she goes again
Dime, dime, penny, dime
Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
Put my? before the? won't be doing any time, because of
Dime, dime, penny, dime
Dime, dime, dime, penny, dime, dime, dime, dime, penny, dime
C'mon!
Woo!

C'mon open up with bad luck
I used to be big, but now I suck
The debt collectors, man, they can 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 going absurd
She looks like she's got money to burn
I come from behind, snatched away
Looks like it's finally my day
But I can't believe my eyes
It really shouldn't come as a surprise

Woo!

It was dime, dime, penny, dime
Only 31 cents for the trouble of the crime
Put my? before the? won't be doing any time, because it's
Dime, dime, penny, dime

Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime
If I had three pennies there's a quarter of a dime
I'd be doing just fine with 69, because it's
Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime
Dime, Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime, Dime
Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime
