Shel Silverstein – Smart Lyrics

Folk

My dad gave me a dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son
And I swapped it to Mort for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more than one
And then I took the two quarters
And I traded 'em to Lou for three dimes
I guess he don't know that three is more than two

And then, then just along come old Blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes
Four is more than three

And then I took the nickels to Hiram Coombes
Down at the seed feed store
And the fool gave me five pennies for 'em
Five is more than four

And then I went and showed my dad
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head
