It was the biggest hit by the 1960s Ohio-based rock group the Lemon Pipers, as well as the title track of their debut album, Green Tambourine. The song was one of the first psychedelic pop chart-toppers and became a gold record. Released toward the end of 1967, it spent 13 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 1 on February 3, 1968,[5] and sold over a million copies. The record remained on the chart for three months.[6] It was also the first U.S. No. 1 hit for the Buddah label. The Lemon Pipers never repeated this success, though their "Rice Is Nice" and "Jelly Jungle", both also written by Leka and Pinz, made the charts in 1968.
Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill a pretty dream Give me pennies, I'll take anything Now listen while I play My green tambourine Watch the jingle jangle start to shine
Reflections of the music that is mine When you toss a coin, you'll hear it sing Now listen while I play My green tambourine Drop a dime before I walk away
Any song you want, I'll gladly play Money feeds my music machine Now listen while I play My green tambourine Listen and I'll play
