When the Jar Runs Dry

[KID] Shook my jar, real slow... clink. Counted 'em out — five coins, that's it, I think. one, two, three, four, five — that's the whole show. Red car, bouncy ball, pack of gum in a row. I want 'em all... (mm) but the jar said no.

When the jar runs dry — pick one. When the jar runs dry — pick one. clink, clink — then it's done. Five coins gone... so I pick ONE. (hey)

[KID] Can I grab the car AND ball? (yeah?) [GROWN-UP] Mmm, do the math, that's all. Car is four. Ball is three. Four plus three is seven, baby — more than five, you see?

So one goes home... and the rest say bye. boom.

When the jar runs dry — pick one. When the jar runs dry — pick one. clink, clink — then it's done. Five coins gone... so I pick ONE. (hey)

[KID] Waved at the gum — bye, gum. Watched the ball roll — boing... boing... gone, hum. No grabbin' two, no grabbin' three — just me and my one, and my one's all me. (mm-hm)

When the jar runs dry — pick one. When the jar runs dry — pick one. clink, clink — then it's done. Five coins gone... so I pick ONE.

(slow it down now) Empty jar... tip. tap. hush. One red car in my hand, no rush. Lights turn green, vroom — off I go... just me and my ONE, ridin' slow.
