SONG: If I Didn't Have a Dime
ARTIST: Gene Pitney
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
If I didn't have a dime,
and I didn't take the time
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
If I didn't have a quarter,
and I didn't tip the porter
|
| * 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! |
