Drop your silver in my tambourine.
Help a poor man fill his pretty dream.
Give me pennies I'll take anything,
Now listen while I play.
My green tambourine.

Watch the jingle jangle start to shine.
Reflections of the music that is mine.
When you toss a coin you'll hear it sing.
Now listen while I play,
My green tambourine.

Drop a dime before I walk away.
Any song you want I'll gladly play.
Money feeds my music machine.
Now listen while I play,
My green tambourine.
