Is It Worth It?

(yeah) three coins... three coins... in the jar (clink)

Three coins in my pocket, jingle when I walk Toy shelf got me starin' — but I stop, I stop Tap, tap, tap my chin (hey!) before I drop a dime 'Cause coins you keep today buy somethin' better next time

Is it worth it? (worth it!) Is it worth it? (hmmm) Stop... and think — is it worth it? Is it worth it? (worth it!) Three little coins — is it worth it?

Shiny plastic robot, blinky-blinky red (buy me! buy me!) Wavin' little arms, sayin' "spend it, kid, spend it!" So I grab it off the shelf and then... kuh-RACK! Leg snapped off by Tuesday — bye-bye coins (gone!) ain't comin' back

Is it worth it? (worth it!) Is it worth it? (hmmm) Stop... and think — is it worth it? Is it worth it? (worth it!) Three little coins — is it worth it?

Now the wooden dump truck — slow, smooth, costs a bit more Bump it, dump it, drop it, roll the pebbles 'cross the floor Lasts all summer long, through the mud and sticky goo (VROOM) Cheap that breaks costs MORE than one good thing that's true

(beat switch — just the chin tap, real quiet) [KID] tap... tap... tap. is it... worth it? Three coins in the jar (clink) — and I walk away (yeah) That shiny one's still broken on the shelf today
