I Wanted That

I wanted that, that old baseball cap I wanted that old cap for me You gave it Jim and he gave it to Gray I will never forgive you, no way I wanted those, to cover my toe’s Those socks were just perfect for me But you gave them to Tim and he gave them to Lee I can never forgive you, you see I wanted some, you just left a crumb The crumb of a nice cake for me So I gave it two birds and they gave it a third There is no forgiveness from me I craved for that hay on the ground where it lay It would have made my pig sty so warm So you burnt all that hay just to spite me I say And I cannot forgive you this day I wanted that phone cos I felt so alone I needed to call you and say You know I am bold and my pigs will be cold So you know what you can do with your hay You think I want all, the bat and the ball Greedy is what you call me But greed it is not, I just want the lot I want all those "them things" for FREE!
