that don't make no cents

Both my Dad and I like to collect coins.
He is especially fond of pennies.
I think that he would like this.....

Last May when I was out on the town with my brother Jeff,
I pretended to look for pennies in the fountain.

I think, for a minute, Jeff thought that I was going to climb over the edge
and go a'swimmin' to get a couple of pennies.
