What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, the shoeshine boy's got lines around the block
2
The bloodhound's let the convicts get away
3
And after you're asleep, all the cheerleaders weep
4
And the ham-and-eggers win the Irish Sweepstakes every day
5
The paper boys make headlines and the janitors are winking
6
As they're filling up their dustpans full of hundred dollar bills
7
The never-do-wells and stingy-pins all ride around in taxis
8
In the style that they have grown accustomed to
9
And the parking lot attendants leave the money in the drawer
10
And take that Corvette Stingray with a four-on-the-floor
11
And pull into the filling station and instead of gasoline
12
Say, 'Hey buddy, can you fill it with a nickel's worth of dreams?'
