My Grandpa gave me a quarter,
For being a good boy.
My best friend Pat gave me a nickel,
When I traded him a toy.
But when I got my lunch pail this morning from my mom,
Inside was a surprise!
I opened it at lunch today,
And there was a shiny dime!
So I've got a nickel and I've got a dime,
And if I add my quarter too..
That's fourty cents I've counted up,
All for me and none for you!
