665

Well I got[G] 665 I'm a penny short again Satan
[G]I got 665 I'm a penny short again[D] Satan
Dark[G] prince of Hell won't you let [C]me slide
I got[G] 665 I'm[D] a penny short a[G]gain Satan

[G]Well I gave two cents to a guy sleeping on the street
Who said he spent two weeks without nothing to[D] eat
S[G]o I was down to[C] 664
But I[G] caught that mother[D] outside of the li[G]quor store

So I took away his bottle of Thunderbird
And I brought it down to the priest at the Catholic Church
He bought it off me for $1.98
Just before he pointed to the cross and the collection plate

When I go I want to go on the winning side
So I dropped in $1.95
It felt so good to be holding 667
Because that's the kind of money I need to get me into heaven

I know then I should have rushed on over to see you
But I stumbled up on a team trying to settle a dispute
So I offered to help in the debate of theirs
By flipping my extra penny into the air

Sadly I didn't catch it when it came back down
It fell into the sewer after rolling around
Not being the type to assist only to fail
I pulled out the only penny that was gonna keep me out of Hell

Feeling so clumsy and aloof this time
I asked the gentlemen to flip it if he'd be so kind
But their dispute was whether a sucker was born every minute
Once he had that penny in his hand away they went
