&#822=
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!
