On The Nickel (LP版) - Tom Waits[00:00:00]
Written by:Tom Waits[00:00:01]
Sticks and stones will break my bones[00:00:24]
I always will be true[00:00:31]
When your mama's dead and gone[00:00:37]
I'll sing this lullaby just for you[00:00:42]
What becomes of all the little boys[00:00:52]
Who never comb their hair[00:00:59]
They're lined up all around the block on the nickel over there[00:01:06]
So better bring a bucket[00:01:21]
There's a hole in the pail[00:01:28]
And if you don't get my letter then you'll know that I'm in jail[00:01:35]
What becomes of all the little boys[00:01:49]
Who never say their prayers[00:01:55]
They're sleeping like a baby on the nickel over there[00:02:02]
If you chew tobacco[00:02:30]
Wish upon a star[00:02:36]
You'll find out where the scarecrows sit just like punch lines between the cars[00:02:43]
I know a place where a royal flush[00:02:56]
Never beat a pair[00:03:03]
Even Thomas Jefferson is on the nickel over there[00:03:09]
To ring around the rosie[00:03:22]
Sleeping in the rain[00:03:29]
You're always late for supper[00:03:36]
Man you let me down let me down again[00:03:41]
I thought I heard a mockingbird[00:03:49]
Roosevelt knows where[00:03:56]
You skip the light with Grady Tuck on the nickel over there[00:04:03]
So what becomes of all the little boys who run away from home[00:04:29]
The world just keeps getting bigger once you get out on your own[00:04:42]
So here's to all the little boys[00:04:56]
The sandman takes you where[00:05:02]
Sleeping with a pillow man on the nickel over there[00:05:09]
So climb up through that button hole[00:05:23]
Fall right up the stairs[00:05:30]
I'll show you where the short dogs grow[00:05:36]
On the nickel[00:05:45]
Will over there[00:05:49]
