I'm seldom tense and I'm never uptight,
but there's one thing in this world
that really makes me upset,
and that's them coin machines,
them nickel and diamonds,
those nickel -and -dime quarter
for some peanut crunches?
You put it in a slot and you pull the handle,
an d just nothing. So you
and you kick it with your shoe,
and finally you just walk away
thank you, which is machine,
but we just stuck it to you, son.
who invented the coin machine.
He must have hated mankind
and every other living thing.
Sayin' you get nothin' for a nickel,
Well, they'll of fer you cigarettes,
soft drinks, cigars, barbecue, potato chips
And all kind of candy bars,
Cracker Jacks and Red Hots
And you can pay a quarter
A shot of cologne, get a bash you shine
That even polishes your socks
But I think the worst of those
where you can see what you want
But you can bet your donkey
you're gonna get nothing out of that
Boys, you know what I mean
And when you lose six bits
You're just too embarrassed to complain
So you just kinda go home by yourself
who invented the coin machine
Well, he must have hated mankind
and every other living thing
on his wall in frozen rhyme
Sayin' you get nothin' for a nickel,
who certainly is a hero of mine
Seemed there was a certain
that was rustin' old camp tankers
but just one too many quarters
So he went out to his car
and looked up under the seat
and he whipped out a .45,
He walked up to that machine
and said, hand that over son,
Then he plugged that thing
about three or four times
right up un der that blinkin'
Then he just coughed and spit
a four hundred dollars worth of
The judge called his self defense.
who invented the coin machine
Well, he must have hated mankind
an d every other living thing
on his wall in frozen rhyme
Said, you get nothing for a nickel,
