[Verse 1]
Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill a little dream
Give me pennies, I'll take anything

[Refrain]
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

[Verse 2]
Watch the jingle-jangles start to chime
Reflections of the music that was mine
When I toss a coin you'll hear it sing

[Refrain]
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Rub-a-dub before I walk away
Anytime you want, I'll gladly play
Money feeds my music machine

[Refrain]
Now listen while I play my green tambourine
Listen while I play my green tambourine
