[Verse 1]
[D]Now[A] I'[D]m not one
to get all excited,
I'm [G]seldom tense and I'm never uptight,
but there's [E]one thing in this world
that really makes me [A]upset,
and that's [D]them coin machines,
them nickel and diamonds,
them [G]out -of -orders,
them work -one -timers,
those nick[E]el -and -dime quarter
-grubbin' monster[A]s.
I mean, how [Bm]many times
have you had to munch it
so you [G]whip out a dime
for some peanut crunches?
[E]You put it in a slot and you pull the handle,
[A]an d just nothing. So you
[D]cuss and you beat it
till your hand is blue,
you push [G]and you shove
and you kick it with your shoe,
and finally [E]you just walk away
while it's blinking,
thank [A]you, which is machine,
but we just stuck [D]it to you, son.
[G]I'd like to meet the man
[A]who invented[G] the coin machine.
[D]He must have hated mankin[B]d
and [E]every other living thing.
[A]I bet[G] he had a mot[A]to on
[D]his wall in frozen rime
[G]Sayin' you[D] get nothin' for a nic[B]kel,
[E]twice as [A]much for [D]a d[Bm]ime[G][E][A]
Well, they'll [D]of fer you cigarettes,
soft drinks, [A]cigars, [G]barbecue, potato chips
And all kind of candy [E]bars,
peanuts, popcorn,
Cracker Jacks and [A]Red Hots
And [D]you can pay a quarter
for a nickel cone,
get [G]a throwaway razor
A shot of cologne, [Abdim]get a bash you shine
[E]That even polishes you[A]r socks
But I [Bm]think the worst of those
You see with the glass
where you [G]can see what you want
But you can bet your donkey
that [E]ain't no way short
Of a blowtorch
you're gonna get [A]nothing out of that
Then [D]how about those
on the men's room wall?
Boys, [G]you know what I mean
You have seen them all
And when you [E]lose six bits
in one of them boogers
You're [A]just too embarrassed to complain
So you just kinda [D]go home by yourself
I'd [G]like to meet the man
[A]who invented[G] the coin machine
[D]Well, he must have hated man[B]kind
and [E]every other living thing
[A]I bet[G] he had a motto[A]
on [D]his wall in frozen rhyme
[G]Sayin' you[D] get nothin' for a nic[B]kel,
[E]twice as [A]much for [D]a
[Bm]dime[D][G][E][A]
Now, I [D]heard this story
about a fella one time
who [G]certainly is a hero of mine
He ranks right [E]up there
with John Wayne,
Burke [A]Reynolds
and Merle Haggard
Seemed [D]there was a certain
soft drink machine
that was [G]rustin' old camp tankers
and mean and it [E]took him
but just one too many quarters
and his mind [A]snapped.
So he went out to his car
[Bm]and looked up under the [D]seat
and he whipped [G]out a .45,
clean and neat.
He walked [E]up to that machine
and said, hand that over son,
[A]it's your last chance.
Then he [D]plugged that thing
about three or four times
right up [G]un der that blinkin'
have a coke sign.
Then he [E]just coughed and spit
a four hundred dollars worth of
[A]quarters and died.
The judge [D]called his self defense.
[G]I'd like to meet the man
[A]who invented[G] the coin machine
[D]Well, he must have hated mankin[Bm]d
[B]an [E]d every other living thing
[A]I bet[G] he had a mot[A]to
on [D]his wall in frozen rhyme
[G]Said, you[D] get nothing for a nic[B]kel,
[E]twice as [A]much for [D]a dime
