Small Potatoes
You can hire and fire, wheel and deal
Run your streets with a fist of steel
But you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
You can raise an army, own a town
Be the rent collector and come around
Yeah, but you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
If you take your leave of reality
You have to believe your own publicity
You can get yourself an agent
Hire the Albert Hall
Make like Humpty Dumpty and look down on it all
But you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
Out on the town for your charities
Hanging around with the VIPs
They say the Duke of York took his men
Marched them up a hill of beans and down again
He was small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small potatoes
Small potatoes, small time
Run your streets with a fist of steel
But you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
You can raise an army, own a town
Be the rent collector and come around
Yeah, but you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
If you take your leave of reality
You have to believe your own publicity
You can get yourself an agent
Hire the Albert Hall
Make like Humpty Dumpty and look down on it all
But you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
Out on the town for your charities
Hanging around with the VIPs
They say the Duke of York took his men
Marched them up a hill of beans and down again
He was small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small potatoes
Small potatoes, small time
