Lyrics
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
A cent today, a cent today
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
But love is worth more than ever
Though there’s no nickel pickle
No five cent cigar
No nickel cup of coffee
No sweet candy bar
You can walk with your honey
‘Neath your lucky star
Without any money whoever you are
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
A cent today, a cent today
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
But love is worth more than ever
Now a nickel, has wings
And it flies like a jet
You had it and you spent it
And what did you get?
But the more love you give
Then the more love you got
And kings without kisses ain’t doin’ so hot
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
A cent today, a cent today
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
But love is worth more than ever
While you’re lookin’ for pleasure
You spend and you spend
A nickel brings you nothin’
My friend, in the end
But the price isn’t
High for a kiss and a sigh
And true love is something
That money can’t buy
Chorus
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
A cent today, a cent today
A nickel ain’t worth a cent today
But love is worth more than ever
Love is worth more than ever before
Yes, love is worth more than ever
