Chorus
Well I got 665 I'm a penny short again Satan
I got 665 I'm a penny short again Satan
Dark prince of Hell won't you let me slide
I got 665 I'm a penny short again Satan
Verse 1
Well I gave two cents to a guy sleeping on the street
Who said he spent two weeks without nothing to eat
So I was down to 664
But I caught that mother outside of the liquor store
Verse 2
So I took away his bottle of Thunderbird
And I brought it down to the priest at the Catholic Church
He bought it off me for $1.98
Just before he pointed to the cross and the collection plate
Verse 3
When I go I want to go on the winning side
So I dropped in $1.95
It felt so good to be holding 667
Because that's the kind of money I need to get me into heaven
Verse 4
I know then I should have rushed on over to see you
But I stumbled up on a team trying to settle a dispute
So I offered to help in the debate of theirs
By flipping my extra penny into the air
Verse 5
Sadly I didn't catch it when it came back down
It fell into the sewer after rolling around
Not being the type to assist only to fail
I pulled out the only penny that was gonna keep me out of Hell
Verse 6
Feeling so clumsy and aloof this time
I asked the gentlemen to flip it if he'd be so kind
But their dispute was whether a sucker was born every minute
Once he had that penny in his hand away they went
