Nickel is a nickel dime is dime Get you a girl you can have a good time You gotta step it up and go you gotta step it up and go Well you can't stand back you gotta step it up and go Two old maids sittin' in the sand Each one wishin' that the other was a man Shootin' dice got your money on the floor Up comes a law and knocks on the door She may be old and ninety years But she ain't too old for to shift her gears Jumped in the river started to drown Thought about my woman and I turned around I knocked on the door about half past ten She said listen here baby you can't come in Woh-oo-oh woh-oo-oh woh-oo-oh woh-oo-oh Woh-oo-oh woh-oo-oh woh-oo-oh woh-oo-oh
