Penny Down the Drain

Penny in your hand, gonna watch it till it lands in a crack in the dusty road A thousand little feet, gonna pass it on the street till a gray penny done grown old Penny gone down the drain, Penny gone down the drain Gonna whisk right through the city streets on a long night of hard rain Penny had a difficult road, bottom of the barrel got nothing on gold Used to be copper was fine, now a fistful of nickels can't buy you the time of day Shake a wrench and make a little penny gone down the drain, Penny gone down the drain Gonna whisk right through the city streets on a long night of hard rain Penny had a difficult road, bottom of the barrel got nothing on gold Used to be copper was fine, now fistful of nickels can't buy you the time of day Shake a wrench and make a little penny gone down the drain, Penny gone down the drain Gonna whisk right through the city streets on a long night of hard rain
