Breaking a Five...

So.... since we don't have an off-topic section, I thought this would be close enough.

Every once in a while I wake up singing a parody song of some sort. My subconscious mind is Weird Al or something, I don't know. Today was one of those days and I wanted to share the product of my deranged mind with you all.


Breaking a Five
(To the tune of Staying Alive by the Beegees)
(Imagine a bored kid working in an arcade)


I can tell by your worn Atari shirt
You're a gamer lad, no time for work
You walk in, your cash in hand
Aiming straight for me, the cashier man

Some kids run by, that's ok.
Nothing will stand in your way
Eyes are set, fingers twitch
Look at me, ask change for this

Here I take your money
While outside it is sunny

I'm just-

Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

Reaching in the cash drawer
for another quarter

I'm Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

1 2 3 4

Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

1 2 3 4

Breaking a Fiiiiiiiive


I can tell by the angry scowl you have
That you didn't win, your game was bad
No tickets are clutched in your fist
Just another five that can't be missed

You walk up and look at me.
I try to grin pleasantly
Slap your cash on the desk
No more words, I know the rest

Here I take your money
While outside it is sunny

Just-

Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

Reaching in the cash drawer
for another quarter

I'm Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

1 2 3 4

Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

1 2 3 4

Breaking a Five

I'm going nowhere
Somebody help me
Sombody help, here
I'm going nowhere
Somebody help me
Sombody help me, here

I could tell by your worn Atari shirt
You're a gamer lad, no time for work
You walked in, your cash in hand
Aiming straight for me, the cashier man

Some kids ran by, that's ok.
Nothing will stand in your way
Eyes were set, fingers twitched
Look at me, asked change for this

Here I take your money
While outside it is sunny

Just-

Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

Reaching in the cash drawer
for another quarter

I'm Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

1 2 3 4

Breaking a Five
Breaking a Five

1 2 3 4

Breaking a Fiiiiiiiive
