[Fm] [D]
Now I'm not one to get all excited, [G] I'm seldom tense and I'm never uptight, [E] but there's one thing in this world that really makes [A] me upset.
[B] And that's [D] them coin machines, them nickel [G] and dimes, them out-of-orders, them work-one [G#]-timers, old nickel and [E] dime quarter [A]-grubbing monsters.
[Bm] I mean, how many times have you had to [G] munch it so you whip out a dime for some peanut [E] crunches, you put it in a slot, you pull the [A] handle, and just nothing.
[D] So you cuss and you beat it till your hand is [G] blue, you push and you shove and you kick it with your [E] shoe, and finally you just walk away while it's blinking,
[A] thank you, which is [C#] machine, but we just [D] stuck it to you, son.
[G] I'd like to [A] meet the man [G] who invented the [D] coin machine, he must have [B] hated mankind [E] and every other [A] living thing.
[G] I bet he [A] had a motto [E] on his wall of [G] frozen rhyme, [D] saying, you get [B] nothing for a nickel, [E] twice as [D] much for a [Bm] dime.
[G]
[E] [A]
[D] Well, they'll offer you cigarettes, soft drinks, [G] cigars, barbecue, potato chips, and all [E] kinds of candy bars, peanuts, popcorn, Cracker Jacks, [A] and Red Hots.
[D] And you can pay a quarter for a nickel, come [G] on, get a throwaway razor and a shot of [E] cologne, get a bash, you shine.
They [A] even polish your sock.
[Bm] But I think the worst of those you see with a [G] glass, well, you can see what you want, but you can bet your [Em] donkey that there ain't no [E] way short of a [B] blowtorch you're gonna get nothing out of there.
[D] Then how about those on the men's room [G] wall?
Boys, you know what I mean, you have seen them [E] all, and when you lose six bits in one of them boogers, [B] you're just too embarrassed to complain, so you [D] just kind of go home by [G] yourself.
I'd like to [A] meet the man who [G] invented the [D] coin machine, well, he must have [B] hated mankind [E] and every other living [A] thing.

[A] [D] Now I heard this story about a fellow one [G] time who certainly is a hero of mine, [E] he ranks right up there with John Wayne, Bert [A] Riddles, and Merle Haggard.
[D] Seems there was this certain soft drink [G] machine that was rusty and old, cantankerous and [E] mean, and it took him but just one too many quarters, and [A] it's mine, snap.
[C] [Bm] So he went out to his car and looked up under the seat, [G] and he whipped out a 45, clean and neat, [E] he walked up to that machine and said, hand that over, [A] son, it's your last chance.
[D] Then he plugged that thing about three or four times [G] right up under that blinking Avercoat sign, [E] and it just coughed and spit up $400 [A] worth of quarters and died.
It [D] just called itself the Vince.
