SONG: I Got a Dime
LYRICS: John McCutcheon and Si Kahn
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
I got a dime, you got a dime
I know someone with a quarter and she's a friend of mine
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
I got a quarter, you got a quarter
I know someone with a dollar and she's a change sorter

| * 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! |
