SONG: Heartaches For a Dime
ARTIST: Wynn Stewart
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
I only know I've held you close and kissed you my last time
And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
I only know I've held you close and obeyed your every order
And that's a lot of heartaches for a quarter
|
| * 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! |
