(wooo hooo! awesome electric guitar entrance! Rockin' drum work)

I took my last four nickels

Put them into the telephone

Tryin' to call my baby

But she's not at home

baby

What's you tryin to do me, girl?

I wanna sell you down

ahhh

The best things in life are free

I took my last hundred dollars

And I bought a gold ring

She said it ain't got no diamond

It won't mean a thing

Baby

What's you tryin to do me?

I wanna sell you, girl

ahhh

The best things in life are free

awwhhh

(serious fret work on guitar solo here)

I took my last two hundred dollars

And I bought a cadillac

They says it sho' looks good

But they wanna take it back

Baby

What's you tryin to do me, girl?

I wanna sell you, girl

ahhh

The best things in life are free

I took my last four nickels

Put them into the telephone

Tryin' to call my baby

But she's not at home

Baby

What's you tryin to do me?

I wanna sell you, girl

ahhh

The best things in life are free

ahhhh...
