What Are The Lyrics For On the Nickel By Tom Waits?
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But I always will be true And when your mama is dead and gone I'll sing this lullaby just for you So what becomes of all the little boys Who never comb their hair? They're lined up all around the block On The Nickel over there So you better bring a bucket There is a hole in the pail If you don't get my letter Then you'll know that I'm in jail So what becomes of all the little boys Who never say their prayers? They're sleepin' like a baby On The Nickel over there If you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star You'll find out where the scarecrows sit Just like punchlines between the cars I know a place where a royal flush Can never beat a pair And even Thomas Jefferson Is On The Nickel over there So ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain And you're always late for supper And man you let me down, let me down again I thought I heard a mockingbird, Roosevelt knows where You can skip the light with grady tuck On the Nickel over there So what becomes of all the little boys Who run away from home? The world just keeps gettin' bigger Once you get out on your own So what becomes of all the little boys The sandman takes you where You'll be sleepin' with a pillowman On the Nickel over there So let's climb up through that button hole And fall right up the stairs I'll show you where the short dogs grow On the Nickel over there |
