In your pockets, you might find
Coins of every shape and kind
There's a dime, a penny too
A half dollar, shiny and new

A quarter might catch your eye
And a dollar bill might pass you by
But don't forget the nickel, small
It's worth five cents, after all

Count your coins and you will see
How much money you have, how free!
So keep them safe, and don't you fear
Your treasure's always near, my dear.
