My dad gave me one dollar bill |$1 ~~~~~~~~~ $1|
'Cause I'm his smartest son, |S o (0) o S|
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters |$1 __==^==__ $1|
'Cause two is more than one! `---------------'
.-""-. And then I took the quarters
( 25 ) .-""-. And traded them to Lou
`-..-' ( 25 ) For three dimes-- I guess he don't know
`-..-' That three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind Bates __ __
And just 'cause he can't see (10) __ (10)
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes, "" (10) ""
And four is more than three! ""

And closed his eyes and shook his head-- ,.,`"` ( 1 )
Too proud of me to speak! ( 1 ) jgs `"`
