The Five and Dime

Think I'll spend some time

At the five and dime

Don't wanna spend much money

So here's what I'll do honey

I'll buy a cheap thrill

Don't want no long term bill

I'll buy me something small

I can enjoy it all

I'll have the joy of spending

No bill will they be sending

At the five and dime you can shop around

At the five and dime great deals I have found

At the five and dime you don't pay no bills

At the five and dime you can buy some cheap thrills

Nice! I really like this one. So far I'm just running up and down your list and picking out titles that stand out.

I have no idea if the store is still around, I've never heard of it. I think if you added more words to this it would make a great rock song, well done.
