SONG: Penny For Your Thoughts
ARTIST: Tavares
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for a kiss
A dime if you tell me that you love me
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for a kiss
A quarter if you'll talk to the reporter
|
| * 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! |
