[Verse 1]
Well I rolled outta bed with a shoe on wrong,
Had a hangover hummin’ a gospel song.
Checked my coat, checked my soul, checked my name—
Found one nickel and two dames playin’ the same game.

[Verse 2]
Miss Ruby got sass and a real tight curl,
Miss Blanche got a look that could ruin your world.
Both said, “Baby, you’re the cat’s pajamas,”
But all I got’s this coin and two kinds of drama.

[Chorus]
One nickel, two dames, no sense at all,
One wants champagne, one wants to brawl.
I said, “Girls, I’m rich—in potential and charm!”
They said, “Buy us both lunch or you’ll lose an arm!”

[Verse 3]
Took ‘em down to Louie’s for a soda and fries,
Told the waiter, “Charge it to my alibis.”
Ruby said, “I don’t split my time,”
Blanche just laughed and squeezed lemon in my eye.

[Bridge – Spoken, frantic]
Now Blanche’s got a pistol, Ruby’s got the check,
And I’m sweatin’ through my collar down to my neck.
I said, “Hold on, sugarplums, let’s be mature—
Can’t we all just jitterbug and keep it pure?”

[Chorus]
One nickel, two dames, I’m caught in between,
One’s a flapper queen, the other’s mean.
They both swing wild and I’m the fool—
Tryin’ to buy love with pocket change and cool.

[Breakdown – Instrumental Hijinks]
Honking clarinet solo, kazoo cameo, slapstick drum fills while our hero ducks flying shoes and broken plates.

[Verse 4 – Half-spoken, resigned]
So if you find a coin on a moonlit street,
And two gals wink at you sweet…
Take my advice, skip the charm and games—
Or you’ll wind up flat broke... with three dames.

[Final Chorus]
One nickel, two dames, lesson learned,
Play with fire, you're bound to get burned.
I’ll stick to jazz, leave love alone—
Cheaper to play solos and dance on my own.

[Outro – Lazy banjo and clarinet waltz]
“Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little third-wheel swing… if you’re the wheel.”
