[Verse] I got a rhythm in my step, and a lucky nick’al Aside from those things, I got nothing at all With a measured step, and a flip of the coin I can suss right out which way the sunlight’ll join “Have you been to the beach”, the seagull cries He’s got that “been there, done that” look in his eyes [Chorus] HEY! HEY! I don’t need it all! HEY! HEY! Got my lucky nickel! Flip it! Skip it! Let it fall I’m a snappy minstrel, with a lucky nickel [Verse 2] There’s this one girl with yellow hair Her red and black socks are quite the pair She moved right in, just next door to me And when she’s blue, she whistles melodies Wonder if she’d appreciate my lucky nickel Frog in my throat; whoah no! What if she’s fickle [Chorus] HEY! HEY! I don’t need it all! HEY! HEY! Got my lucky nickel! Flip it! Skip it! Let it fall I’m a snappy minstrel, with a lucky nickel [Verse 3] Feet near the water, sand in my hair Heads I’m here, tails go there Consulting the wisdom of my wise nickel Caught in this moment, so noncommittal I ask the seagull, "Do you know the way?” Squawk, caw, chirp, he said “Not today” [Chorus] HEY! HEY! I don’t need it all! HEY! HEY! Got my lucky nickel! Flip it! Skip it! Let it fall I’m a snappy minstrel, with a lucky nickel
