we are as broke as poets
on the morning after pay day
so we've got something on the block
and draggin' out the ol' soap box
stop a while and listen to us say
this little jem is a great deal
guaranteed to never rust or fade
so be the first one on your street
to make your friends and neighbors green
why hold on to that pocket change anyway
so raise up you hand throw out a bid
raise up your hand throw out a bid
come on we've got songs for sale
how 'bout a ballad for your baby
or somethin' fun and noisy for the kids
christmas is coming up my friend
and you may not have this chance again
to buy a piece of mistletoe like this, like this
(chorus)
and if you're sedate we've got your mellow
funky vibes for wild types
and this one here's got a cool guitar solo
so you can be ahead of the curve bill
why buy another tv set
there are only so many shows that you can see
and they ain't that good between you and me
there are only so many things
on which dust won't collect
and wind up in the shed so...
