Lyrics Once Upon a Nickel - Ethel Merman , Ray Bolger
Once
upon
a
nickel,
you
could
really
buy
A
cake
of
soap,
a
good
cigar,
a
piece
of
apple
pie
A
subway
ride,
an
ice
cream
cone
And
for
a
nickel
you
could
phone
Those
were
the
good
old
days
Once
upon
a
nickel
you
could
buy
a
lot
A
loaf
of
bread
a
bowl
of
soup
A
hot
dog
really
hot
A
glass
of
beer,
a
can
of
beans
A
nickel
bought
most
magazines
Those
were
the
good
old
days
What
happened
to
that
nickel
cup
of
coffee
A
five
cent
bag
of
peanuts
at
the
game
Because
I
have
no
doubt
that
The
nickel
is
dying
out
I'm
gonnaput
one
in
a
special
frame
Once
upon
a
nickel
we
could
have
a
time
But
now
to
buy
a
nickel's
worth
You
need
more
than
a
dime
The
day
may
come
but
who
knows
when
They'll
sensibly
revive
again
The
nickel
and
those
good
old
days
Once
upon
a
nickel
we
were
in
the
chips
We'd
do
the
town
you'd
throw
around
Those
great
big
nickel
tips
Those
silver
coins
when
they
were
tossed
Could
get
a
gal's
kid
brother
lost
Those
were
the
good
old
days
Once
upon
a
nickel
life
was
very
nice
A
nickel
brought
the
ice
man
up
With
quite
a
chunk
of
ice
Those
suppers
at
the
automat
How
I
laughed
when
they
stole
your
hat
Those
were
the
good
old
days
The
five
cent
airmail
stamp
is
just
a
memory
Those
nickel
shoeshine
days
are
gone
for
good
I
hate
to
see
it
die
but
for
all
that
it
lets
you
buy
The
nickel
might
as
well
be
made
of
wood
Once
upon
a
nickel
we
could
have
a
time
But
now
to
buy
a
nickel's
worth
You
need
more
than
a
dime
The
day
may
come
but
who
knows
when
They'll
sensibly
revive
again
The
nickel
and
those
good
old
days
