Ella Fitzgerald Betcha Nickel lyrics

I betcha a nickel I bet you I win
I betcha a nickel that you will give in
What's a matter honey? Afraid 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
