about

Two Cents’ Worth is about unsolicited advice.

lyrics

Well I did my homework and I worked real hard.
I got good marks on my report card.
I got a prize in science. And I got a prize in art.
But my teacher still gave me her two cents worth.

Well, Everyone’s an athlete, everyone’s a nurse.
They know the secrets of the Universe
None of them were famous (that would be worse)
They all wanna give me their 2 cents worth.

Bridge: They tell me what to do. They tell me where to go,
They tell me what they’re thinking and how much they know.
Somebody famous was a friend of a friend.
I’ve heard that same story Again and again.

Chorus: Everybody gives me their 2 cents worth,
2 cents worth, 2 cents worth.
Some of them are smart, Some of them are jerks
And they all wanna give me their 2 cents worth.

Verse: I went to college. I got a degree.
(Maybe I should go and get my Phd.)
I’ll write a book. I’ll be on TV.
And then I’m gonna give you my 2 cents worth.

Bridge: It’s not worth a quarter. It’s not worth a dime.
Not worth a nickel. Half of the time.
2 plus 2 plus 2 cents worth, Add it all up it’s just 2 cents worth.

Chorus: Everybody gives me their 2 cents worth,
2 cents worth, 2 cents worth.
Some of them are smart, Some of them are jerks
And they all wanna give me....
Yeh, they all wanna give me their 2 cents worth.
