Jose Counts Coins

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jose got a jar on the shelf Stacked so high, he locks it himself Countin' every penny twice Got a hole in his sole, still don’t like to spend a dime He say, "Why pay full price?" Takes the free napkins, acts all nice Cuts the sandwich in four Saves the crust in a bag by the door [Pre-Chorus] He turn his pockets inside out Like "Maybe one coin fell out" At the register, he freezes up When the total hit, he don't wanna touch it [Chorus] Jose counts coins, counts coins Won't let go, won't let go Jose counts coins, counts coins Keep it close, keep it close (one more dime) (hold that line) Jose counts coins, counts coins Won't let go, won't let go [Verse 2] He reuse the same receipt Writes grocery lists on the back for weeks Turns off the heat in December Say "A blanket's cheaper if you remember" Neighbors got jokes, he don't laugh He mend his socks with dental floss Got a safe under the sink With a note that say, "Do not even think" [Pre-Chorus] He watch the change like a hawk Won't leave a tip when the plates get baulked Swear he heard his money breathe So he guard that stash like it's all he needs [Chorus] Jose counts coins, counts coins Won't let go, won't let go Jose counts coins, counts coins Keep it close, keep it close (one more dime) (hold that line) Jose counts coins, counts coins Won't let go, won't let go [Bridge] One day the wind blew cold He had gold but nowhere to hold Then he met a kid with a smile so wide Said, "You can save some and still provide" [Final Chorus] Jose counts coins, counts coins Won't let go, won't let go Jose counts coins, counts coins Keep it close, keep it close (one more dime) (hold that line) Jose counts coins, counts coins Won't let go, won't let go
