Betcha Nickel - Ella Fitzgerald

I betcha, a nickel

I bet you I win

I betcha, a nickel

That you will give in

What’sa matter honey?

'Fraid you’ll lose?

Do what you wanna

And say what you choose

I still betcha, a nickel

That you will be mine

I betcha, a nickel

Even raise it a dime

I always win my money

You can bet on that

I always take a tip

And keep it under my hat

You’ve got yourself to yourself

Come on, get off that shelf

You can fool some of the people some of the time

But you can’t fool all the people all of the time

That’s why I betcha, a nickel

That you will be mine

I betcha, you’ll sign on, the dotted line

I don’t see no sense in wasting all this time

Cause whatever you bet, your bet is gonna be mine

You’ve got yourself to yourself

Come on, get off that shelf

You can fool some of the people some of the time

But you can’t fool all the people all of the time

(we betcha, a penny, we ain’t got a dime)

Say that ain’t no money, you’re wastin' my time

I don’t see no sense in all this rhythm and rhyme

Cause whatever you bet, your bet is gonna be mine
