Bad Penny by G�DZ P��DLZ
written by R�ss R�gers and R�d D�rre (c) 2009
Shiny, shiny, newly minted currency
Stuffed inside a porcelain pig
Treasured and horded with no sense of urgency
Oh no, look what you did
We were the lifeblood of this nation
But we�ve been kept out of circulation
You saved us and cursed us
�Cause now we�re nearly worthless
Every Penny, Any Penny is a Bad Penny, Bad Penny
Find a Penny pick it up
Grab a Penny from that Take-A-Penny Cup
Any Penny that turns up is a Bad Penny, Bad Penny
Disgraceful way to treat the coin of Lincoln
In wishing wells, just tossed away
The cents you make from the thoughts your thinking
Worth half as much as yesterday
It�s time to face the truth unvarnished
The copper we�re made from�s grown dull and tarnished
You can�t make a purchase
�Cause now we�re nearly worthless
-Chorus-
Worthless little slug
Can�t buy the metal that I�m made from
And Lincoln�s tiny mug
Is always cringing with the shame from
Being a Bad Penny
-Chorus-
