I just took my last ten dollars from my pocket
I said I'd like some change if you don't mind
The bartender asked me how I'd like it
I said nickels, quarters and dimes.

I spread my silver out across the table
I said money get her off my mind
I thumbed the cash in all of my old mem'ries
With these nickels, quarters and dimes.

Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox
And quarters buy me wine, wine, wine.

Now there's seven empty bottles on the table
Money's runnin' short and so is time
Turn the jukebox up and I'll drink faster
Hurry nickels, quarters and dimes.

I just noticed the waitress has the same first name as you do
And on the jukebox why I'd recognize you're singin' anytime
But I didn't know till now they put your picture
On nickels, quarters and dimes.

Nickels tip the waitress dimes play the jukebox
And quarters buy me wine, wine, wine.

And quarters buy me wine, wine, wine...
