0;My dad gave me one dollar bill
‘Cause I’m his =
smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
‘Cause two is more than one!
And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes — I guess he didn’t know
That three is more than two!
Just =
then, along came old blind Bates

And just ’cause he can=
’t see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!
And then I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the see=
d-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And then I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the ch=
eeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head —
Too proud of me to speak!
