Well,  you know that I'm not a gambler
 but I'm being  gambled on
 They put in a nickel  and I sing  a little song
Dadnda  dadnda dadnda da da
 Dadnda dadnda  da da
 They put in a nickel  and I sing  a little song
 2.
 Well I don¡¦t mind that they¡¦re lucky
 But it seems they always win
 And gambling is illegal in the state of mind I'm in
 and if I had a nickel
 For each time that I've been put on
 I would be their nickel man and I sing a nickel song
 Chrous
 They¡¦re  only putting in a nickel
 And they  want a dollar  song, oh
 They¡¦re  only putting in a nickel
 And they  want a dollar  song, yeah
 3.
 Well, I know I don't know so many things
 But I know what's been going on
 We only put in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong
 And if we had a nickel
 For each time that we've been put on
 We'd all be the nickel man and we sing a nickel song
 4.
 Well, you know I'm not a gambler
 but I'm being gambled on
 They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
 Dadnda dadnda dadnda da da
 Dadnda dadnda da da
 Dadnda dadnda dadnda da da
 repeat chorus ¡¥dadna dadna¡¦ and so on, and so on¡Kƒº
