The Lyrics
Once Upon A Dime
Would make a phone call in a booth,
Buy a candy bar,
Pay for a movie show
But, that was Once Upon A Dime
Quite some time ago
Once Upon A Dime
Would buy a kid a comic book,
Pay for pinball games,
Newspapers on the lawn
But, that was Once Upon A Dime
Now that time is gone...
Thru the glass, shifting sands pile high
Hours trickle years,
Like cotton clouds, tomorrows fly
Ice cream cones,
A double nickel piece of pie
Where did they go?
Once Upon A Dime
We had a happy ten cent world,
Life was all small change
Too bad that Once Upon A Dime
Never comes again...
Too bad that Once Upon A Dime
Never comes again...
Would make a phone call in a booth,
Buy a candy bar,
Pay for a movie show
But, that was Once Upon A Dime
Quite some time ago
Once Upon A Dime
Would buy a kid a comic book,
Pay for pinball games,
Newspapers on the lawn
But, that was Once Upon A Dime
Now that time is gone...
Thru the glass, shifting sands pile high
Hours trickle years,
Like cotton clouds, tomorrows fly
Ice cream cones,
A double nickel piece of pie
Where did they go?
Once Upon A Dime
We had a happy ten cent world,
Life was all small change
Too bad that Once Upon A Dime
Never comes again...
Too bad that Once Upon A Dime
Never comes again...

fit the nostalgic tone of the OS quite well
Nice! I know you're nostalgic for the good old days, but you may be pleased to learn your dime has inflated to $555!
Thanks, alvin, and TJC....you're probably right with that calculation, TJ
I'm glad I don't have to pay your electric bill, you parody powerhouse you. 5's
Thanks, Lionel...
