Two Shiny Silver Dollars
I went down to the car dealer
As he sent me a car sales flier
But I didn't have any need
To buy any car at this present time
But I just wanted to see
If I'd won any of the prizes given
That brought me there from my home
In the very first place
But to my surprise
As I spun
The small round roulet wheel
I did come out ahead
With 2 shiny silver dollars
And did put'em in my pocket
For alittle bit of my time
From out of my day given
