Green Tambourine

The Lemon Pipers - 1968

(Paul Leka/Shelly Pinz)



Drop your silver in my tambourine

Help a poor man fill a 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



{interlude}



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



{interlude}



Listen and I'll play (play play play)



{drum fadeout}
