Lyrics Norman Greenbaum

Norman Greenbaum

5 Pennies

I was walking down the main street

With my eyes open wide

I was lookin' side-to-side

I was walking down the main street

With five pennies in my hand

But I couldn't spend them

In this inflated land

Maybe I'd find somebody

With five pennies just like me

Maybe we could pinch those pennies and see

Oh, I might wind up with ten

Or I might wind up with three

Any way is all right with me

I was walking down the main street

With five pennies in my hand

But I couldn't spend them

In this inflated land
