Thread Name: Lyr Req: I Put a Slug in a Slot Machine
Subject: Words: I Put a Slug in a Slot Machine
My old Boy Scout Scoutmaster used to wake us up on campouts by singing an old song as he rattled the tents. The only words I can remember hearing following:

I put a slug in a slot machine
In a happy long ago.
It seemed at the time
more a lark than a crime,
But how was I to know?

This is all I remember hearing him sing of it before sticking his head into the tent and telling us "Up and at 'em"

Any help with this song or the lyrics would be sincerely appreciated
