5 Pennies

5 Pennies Song Text

I was walking down the main street
With my eyes open wide
I was lookin' side-to-side
I was walking down the main street
With five pennies in my hand
But I couldn't spend them
In this inflated land
Maybe I'd find somebody
With five pennies just like me
Maybe we could pinch those pennies and see
Oh, I might wind up with ten
Or I might wind up with three
Any way is all right with me
I was walking down the main street
With five pennies in my hand
But I couldn't spend them
In this inflated land
