[Intro]
Mother, can I
Have five dollars?
Mother, can I?
Can I?
Mother can I
Have five dollars?
Mother, can I?
Well, can I?

[Verse 1]
Mom is chillin' with some coffee 'cause she's done with chores
The Trib's being read so it's spread out on the floor
The arcade's open, they just opened all their doors
I need to get my fix, I ate my Kix, can't wait no more
Mickey D's on the way for my genetic inclination
French fried potaters, they're the greatest in the nation
Oldsmobile station wagon, fake wood paneling on the side
Cream colored tan leather, don't be mad because I'm fly
Liberty had Galaga and Hawthorn had its Doom
As in Temple, make it simple, it was the middle of a boom
Sears had a nice selection, bottom level bathrooms
Par-King had Jungle Hunt, Shinobi Kung-Fu
Across the street from Adler Park, there lay a lair so very dark
A dragon's form is sleepin', snoring clouds of smoke and sparks
Waiting for a challenge, someone daring who's legit
Daphne's wearing next to nothing, someone let me see a tit!

[Chorus]
Mom, can I have five dollars?
It would really save my life
Games America, Milwaukee Avenue
Can I get a ride and some fries?
Mom, can I have five dollars?
It would really save my life
Games America, Milwaukee Avenue
Can I get a ride and some fries?

[Verse 2]
Let's get down to business, poppin' pills with the Misses
Baby's got the pinball, it's too difficult for this dimwit
There's 1944, Spy Hunter, Burgertime
Those are kinda easy so they can murder time
Got a token in my 'roos, my shoes about to burst
Got tokens in my blue plastic squeeze coin purse
Got tokens, are you jokin'? Just lost them all, it hurts
Mom, please bring more money and a Dairy Queen dessert
Time to beg the guy in the corner for a freebie
I've been walking 'round looking sad, I'm pretty sure he sees me
He's Chicago as can be, overweight, moustache
Flat top, classic rock, in his office countin' cash
Likes me for a bit then he gets sick of my shit
Everyday dealin' with kids. Here's some tokens, please split
So I throw down the Gauntlet, theme song's kinda catchy
Listen to the Tron game 'till my mom comes to get me

[Chorus]
Mom, can I have five dollars?
It would really save my life
Games America, Milwaukee Avenue
Can I get a ride and some fries?
Mom, can I have five dollars?
It would really save my life
Games America, Milwaukee Avenue
Can I get a ride and some fries?
