One day me and Mich was talkin’

About how fast our money goes.

She said I would be a rich man

If lots of nickels filled my nose.

As understandin’ as we were,

This here I explained to her:

If I had a nose full of nickels,

I know just what I would do

I would give them to folks

Who were havin’ hard times.

I know that would bring me a heart full of dimes.

I would spend all the dimes on streetcars

To take poor kids to the zoo.

That would leave me with one streetcar token

Yes, my heart would be broke but not broken

Like I said to Mich, I would always be rich

With a nose full of nickels and you.

Like I said to Mich, if you’re poor and not rich

I would sneeze all my nickels at you!

Cause if I had a nose full of nickels

I’d sneeze them all at you!
