Norman And I Take Valuable Coins To Atlantic City

It was mid October nineteen sixty-four, to Atlantic City I had go;

To sell a rare collection of coins, to a New York dealer I’d known!

I asked Norman to come there with me, and guard them from attack;

I was getting almost eight thousand bucks, needed someone to have my back!

We left Dayton, Ohio, early Friday morn, drove it right straight through;

When we’d stop for gas and restrooms, one stayed with the car to guard it true!

We got there late in the afternoon, checked into The Claridge Boardwalk Inn;
We ordered dinner in the room that night, stayed there till morn’s begin!

Breakfast too we ordered up, then at nine my buyer came;

He also had a friend with him, a strong man with a large imposing frame!

He inspected all the coins and said, “okay”, then laid the bills upon the bed;

Three one thousands, the rest in hundreds, we shook hands and “Thank you” said!

We left that morning and drove straight back, getting home real late at night;

The wad was all in my front pocket, and in restrooms, was a very strange sight!

For several men stared down my pants, and saw something sticking way far out;

I think they got the wrong idea that day, and my sexual preference was in real doubt!
