d-sisive - lucky penny lyrics
(wayne knight…)

(dj grouch, dj grouch, nah man, dj grouch!)
[verse 1]
i saw a penny on the sidewalk
heads
decided whether i should try luck-
f-ck that!
jordan soles walked on
who needs luck when my dope is spot-on?
then i saw a bum five steps from
beggin’ spare change
sittin’ behind a cup
told him there’s a penny five steps back
replied, “f-ck that
a penny can’t buy -”

[verse 2]
i saw a penny on the sidewalk
heads
decided whether i should try luck-
f-ck that!
jordan soles walked on
who needs luck when my dope is spot-on?
then i saw a bum five steps from
beggin’ spare change
sittin’ behind a cup
told him there’s a penny five steps back
replied, “f-ck that
a penny can’t buy jack!
but you should grab it for the [???], chief!
that penny could be your ticket to the big leagues!
see me?
i could’ve made a lot of sense
i ignored change
took a lot of steps
instead of collecting for the better
i walked
now my toes poke through the leather
and the young ones laugh as they walk by
tryna’ be insultin’
but laughs are a far cry
once you’ve tasted the dirt off a boot’s toe
or swallowed the blood of your own gums
and still tried to smell a rose through a broke nose
hardy-har-hars are hardly hard, son
maybe it ain’t worth the bend-over
but if you don’t
you’ll never know
so
make the choice
take the penny home
or be me and forever be a penny short, my boy!”

[verse 3]
i slipped the penny in my pocket
the bum laughed
“wise choice, gr-sshopper!”
nodded so long to my sensei
thanked him for the spare change
off i hopped as my lucky day began
made it half a block then heard change splash
and heard laughs and “take that”‘s
i was too afraid to stare back, but did slow
saw him on his knees, trying to stand
knees too weak, he fell on his hands
scr-ped the ground for his nickels and dimes
teens clappin’ and gigglin’
while i
stood there like a mannequin
i guess jeff lost his hat again
another dirty boot served raw
another bl–dy tooth gone loose
his corner was far from a garden
roses were in desperate need of watering
i felt like vomiting
the penny burned a hole through my pocket when i realized
i was worse than those who hurt him
i did nothing
luck?
didn’t deserve it
i turned my back to his corner
tossed the lucky penny over my shoulder
good luck, my boy.
