My dad gave me one dollar bill
Cause Im his smartest son
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
Cause two is more than one!
And than I took the quarters
And treaded them to Lou
For three dimes...I guess he dont know
That three is more than two!
Just came old blind Bates
And just cause he cant see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes
And four is more than three!
And I mtook the nickles to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store
And the fool gave me five pennies for them
And five is more than four!
And I went and showed my dad
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and his head
Too proud of me to speak!
