SONG: Love at the Five and Dime
ARTIST: Nanci Griffith
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Dance a little closer to me, 'cause it's closing time
And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Dance a little closer to me, on this squallored floor
'Cause love's on sale tonight at this Dollar Store

| * Payphones used to take dimes, but now they take quarters. Isn't
it time to update song lyrics to reflect the realities of
inflation? Alas, it's vastly easier to rhyme the word "dime" than
the word "quarter," but here at Inflationary Lyrics Headquarters we
have risen to the challenge. Please join the fun and share your
own inflationary lyrics, with both the "before" and "after" versions! |
