Lyrics to Bubblegum And Dimes
Bubblegum And Dimes Video:
The first time I went to her house I brought Chinese food in a bag I wasn't greeted at the doorway by her, but her dad He said "You better stay outside." I said "What for?" He said "You second class poor boys treat my daughter like a whore." Melanie, I fell hard for her on some Long Island beach But she was the kind of girl, only a special man could reach After all I work on the Triboro collectin' your tolls Her daddy gave em one last chance and I took her out to bowl. They got a speed boat, I take the subway An indoor pool and pockets of cash A dozen acres on the north shore I live above a discount store So I replaced my leather with a tie traded in my jeans, to make the mirror lie When her dad saw me, he knew I was tryin' he said "that was your last chance, don't want you feedin from the family line." They got a speed boat, I take the subway An indoor pool and pockets of cash born without a family fortune was I Can't get home with bubblegum and dimes And so her brother caught us, talking through her window But I said "I love you" before he got to me the fist on my head was heavy as a cello he said "You'd better not see my sister again." When I tell my friends this, they all find it funny. The only thing I learned is don't act like you got money
