$100.000 in Pennies Songtext
von Bobby Bare

I broke into the bank on Sunday
And you should see the money I got
I couldn′t drag it home until Monday
'Cause it sure weighed an awful lot
Then I sat down to count it
And much to my surprise
A whole lotta little round little brown coins
Rolled out in front of my eyes

I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
Not one paper dollar or dime
And I really don′t think there's many
Rich men with a problem like mine
And I really don't think this is any
Kind of ending for a perfect crime
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I′m spendin′ it a penny at a time


Now a steak would sure taste delicious
And I've forgotten how beer would feel
But the man might get suspicious
If I gave him five hundred pennies for a meal
So I guess I′ll weigh myself again
And buy another sticky gum
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I'm a livin′ like a penniless bum

I've got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
Not one paper dollar or dime
And I really don′t think there's many
Rich men with a problem like mine
And I really don't think this is any
Kind of ending for a perfect crime
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I′m spendin′ it a penny at a time

I could buy myself a big limousine
And be a livin' like a movie star
But I′d have to hire a truck to haul the pennies
To the place where you buy the car
And I'd have to have a wagon to haul the pennies
To the place I′d hire the truck
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I ain't got a penny′s worth o'luck


I've got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
Not one paper dollar or dime
And I really don′t think there′s many
Rich men with a problem like mine
And I really don't think this is any
Kind of ending for a perfect crime
I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies, Lord
And I′m spendin' it a penny at a time

I got a hundred thousand dollars in pennies
And I′m spendin' it a penny at a time
