A lively western swing tune that deserves to be better known:

JINGLE IN MY JEANS
Sean Blackburn

1. A cowboy goes to town and spends his money 'round
Whenever he gets that jingle in his jeans.
He'll never learn to save; he's gonna squander to his grave
Whenever he gets that jingle in his jeans.
When that jingle starts to jangle, I'd dance like a Bojangle,
Buy the rounds, and wind up feelin' just a little bit mean in the mornin'.
I always go to town and spend my money 'round,
Whenever I get that jingle in my jeans.

2. REPEAT, SUBSTITUTING THESE FOR LINES 5-6:
When there's money in my pocket, I take off like a rocket
For the nearest bar, and spend it foolishly, until it's gone.

3. REPEAT, SUBSTITUTING THESE FOR LINES 5-6:
It's into town we ramble, and we shoot the dice and gamble,
But we never stop till our money's gone.

[As recorded by Sean Blackburn and Liz Masterson on "Swing with the Music" (1991).
