Shel Silverstein - 100,000 PenniesShel Silverstein - 100,000 Pennies
Work rating: Medium


I broke into the bank on Sunday, You should see the money I got. I couldn`t drag it home `til Monday, `Cause it sure weighed an awful lot. Then I sat down to count it, And much to my surprise, A whole lotta little brown, little round coins, Rolled out before my eyes Chorus: I`ve got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, Not a solitary dollar or a dime, And I don`t believe there`s many, Rich men with a problem like mine. And I don`t think this is any Kind of ending to a perfect crime. I`ve got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, And I`m spendin` it a penny at a time! Now a steak sure would taste delicious, And I`ve forgot how a beer would feel, But the man just might get suspicious, If I gave him eight hundred pennies for a meal. So I guess I`ll just weigh myself again, And buy me another stick of gum, I`ve got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, Lord! And I`m livin` like a penniless bum! Chorus: I`ve got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, Not a solitary dollar or a dime, And I don`t believe there`s many, Rich men with a problem like mine.
