lyrics

Well who still uses pennies anymore?
Hell I toss 'em in the water, just to see if they float.
Save all my birth years, for my favorite fountain.
Make a sort of curveball wish, give a kiss, and drop 'em.

I throw all of my change out on the street,
Life already good enough for me.
You may think it's pity, Really it's just petty,
What a feeling when the world is at your feet

Well I went into a convenience store,
And left with an inconvenient story,
Caught in line behind a man, paying for a pack of cans,
Ooo oOoo with my nickels and dimes, my nickels and dimes

I knew what I had to do,
I said today is your day, you lucky fool
So I got him a job with a baseball cap, and I said
Stick with this son, and you can buy all you want

But he said, sir, I don't need you to survive
It's been 28 years and look I'm still alive.
Thank you for your charity, but I ain't a slave to the economy
All I need to be happy

Oh, are these nickels and dimes,
these nickels and dimes.
But who still uses pennies anymore?
Who still uses pennies anymore?
