I walked up to the counter with a buffalo nickel
Was gonna give him half, but instead he charged me triple
He said, "It's 20 on the money
What you're paying for it honey"
I said, "Man you must be joking"
He said, "Go ahead and try me"
Now he's lookin' at me funny
And my nickel's laying sunny-side down

I hold out just to get myself a little bit corrected
A hot collar ain't any way to get yourself respected
And though I aim to be emphatic
There's an awful lot of static
'Cause you've got a lot of heart
But your moves are enigmatic
And if you're acting too erratic, it's my semi-automatic response
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You and I (workin' around each other), you and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other), you and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other), you and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other)
Workin' around each other

I got caught upset looking like a little shadow
So mad, 'cause I couldn't shake the noise out of the rattle
It was mean of me to say, but I meant it when I said
That, "I guess I'll do all the work and I guess you take all the credit"
If you read well then you read it
And I'll just be a dog and shed it alright
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
You and I (workin' around each other), you and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other), you and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other), you and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other)
