Looking up "Rinky Dink" on the online Thesaurus brings up the following: Main Entry: cheap Part of Speech: adjective Definition: inferior, low in quality Synonyms: bad, base, bogus, catchpenny, cheesy, common, commonplace, crappy*, cruddy, dud, flashy, garbage, garish, glitzy, junky, lousy, mangy, mean, mediocre, meretricious, no bargain, no good, ordinary, paltry, poor, ratty, raunchy, rinky-dink, rotten, rubbishy, scroungy, second-rate, shoddy, sleazy, small-time, tatty, tawdry, terrible, trashy, trumpery, two-bit, valueless, white elephant, worthless Which kind of fits with the sentiment of the song.
