Lyrics
If I had NINE NICKELS and five cents more,
I'd have fifty cents and I wouldn't be poor.
I'd take the NARROW lane NORTH to the store
And buy NAVY beans, NOODLES, and NUTS galore.
If I had NINE dimes and two NICKELS more,
I'd have a dollar and I wouldn't be poor.
I'd take the NARROW lane NORTH to the store
And buy NAVY beans, NECTARINES, and NUTS galore!
(N for Nuts!)
