lyrics

I'd rather have a fast nickel, than a slow dime
Slow dime don't give us time, you're blind
I'd rather have the nickel, you can keep those dimes
This bird in hand is mine this time

I've been working hard this time
I ain't back down
Nothing is gonna stop me
Working on gettin' what's mine
I don't have the time to waste
Lightning may strike without me
If you wait for perfection
What you'll soon be finding out
Is nothin is gettin' done
This old goat's gonna climb up the guide pole
I'm reaching the top

I'd rather have a fast nickel, than a slow dime
Slow dime don't give us time to shine
I'd rather have the nickel, you can keep those dimes
This bird in hand is mine this time

I've been working hard this time
I ain't back down
Nothing is gonna stop me
Working on gettin' what's mine
I don't have time to waste
Lightning may strike without me
If you wait for perfection
What you'll soon be finding out
Is nothin is gettin' done
This old goat's gonna climb up the guide pole
I'm reaching the top
We're getting things done

I'd rather have a fast nickel, than a slow dime
Slow dime don't give us time, you're blind
I'd rather have the nickels, you can keep those dimes
This bird in hand is mine, not yours
This time
