Sheldon Allan Silverstein - 100,000 Pennies

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