The Nickel Ride (LP版) - Peggy Lee
Lyrics by：Dave Grusin/Peggy Lee
Produced by：Dave Grusin/Peggy Lee
Big wheel I was
Had my own nickel ride
Things were fun then
And I still had my pride
What went wrong then
Something went wrong inside
It broke down there
Ah my sweet nickel ride
Yes it's all there in my mind
I was a barker you see
I was really a shill
Time off and I used to walk around the midway
Pitch pennies
See the plastic cats and tossing rings
Kewpie dolls and all those things
Used to feel sorry for those poor old geeks
But that's the way it was for them I guess
Ah but when I'd call the people they'd come they would
And we'd take a ride we would
Call me carnie
That's what I'll always be
It's so simple
Laugh for the life of me
I was winning
How he stayed by my side
It broke down then
Ah my sweet nickel ride
It broke down then
Ah my sweet nickel ride
Three for a dime you break one you win
Step right this way ladies and gentlemen
We have the little lady right inside if you'd care to know
