“On The Nickel“ by Tom Waits from the album ’Heartattack And Vine’
Lyrics
sticks and stones will break my bones, but i al-

when your mama is dead
and gone, i’ll sing this lul-

boys, who never comb
their hair, well they’re

there.
so you better bring a
bucket, there is a hole in
the pail, and if you don’t
get my letter, then you’ll
know that i’m in jail, and
what becomes of all the lit-

their prayers, well they’re
sleepin’ like a baby, on the
nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco,
and wish upon a star, well
you’ll find out where the
scarecrows sit, just like
punchlines between the
cars, and i know a place
where a royal flush, can
never beat a pair, and even
thomas jefferson, is o
