Jingle, jangle, pocketful of metal
Johnnyâs in the basement, hooking up the kettle
Thinking to himself, âI guess I gotta settle for lessâ
Heâs a mess
Jenny, Jenny, a plastic bag of pennies
Roll âem in brown paper, turn âem into twenty
Walking to the bank, sheâs knocking, âIs there anybody here?
Have I made myself clear?â
Iâm broke, I know Iâm broke
But Iâm not broken
Charlene, Charlene, everybodyâs darling
High on something heavy, sheâs flying like a starling
Coming down the stairs, sheâs tripping through a chemistry class
Lifeâs a blast
Billyâs down from Sydney and, damn, heâs looking handsome
Stumbling down Portland, holding it for ransom
If you got a loonie, heâll tell you the dirtiest joke
âHey man, can I bum a smoke?â
Iâm broke, I know Iâm broke
But Iâm not broken
You never see the wound, you only see the scar
Were we landing on the moon or standing at the bar?
Itâs four in the morning, I donât know where I am or who you are
Last chance landlord, renting out a closet
Picking up the weekly, making the deposit
Walking from the bank while weâre headed for the National Exchange
This world is strange
Iâm broke, I know Iâm broke
But Iâm not broken
