You can hire and fire, wheel and deal
|
Run your streets with a fist of steel
|
But you're small potatoes
|
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
|
Small potatoes, small time
|
|
You can raise an army on a town
|
Be the rent collector, come around
|
Yeah, but you're small potatoes
|
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
|
Small potatoes, small time
|
|
If you take your leave of reality
|
You have to believe in your own publicity
|
But you get yourself and agent
|
Hire the Albert Hall
|
Make like Humpty dumpty and look down on it all
|
But you're small potatoes
|
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
|
Small potatoes, small time
|
|
Out on the town for your charities
|
Hanging in around with the VIPS
|
They say the duke of York took his men
|
Marched them up a hill of beans and down again
|
He was small potatoes
|
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
|
Small potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes, small time
|
