Mark Knopfler - Small Potatoes lyrics

You can hire and fire, wheel and deal
Run your streets with a fist of steel
But, you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time

You can raise an army on a town
Be the rent collector, come around
Yeah, but you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time

If you take your leave of reality
You have to believe in your own publicity

But, you get yourself an agent
Hire the Albert Hall
Make like Humpty dumpty and look
Down on it all but, you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time

Out on the town for your charities
Hanging in around with the VIPS

They say the duke of York took his men
Marched them up a hill of
Beans and down again he was small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small potatoes
Small potatoes, small time
