Ballad of An Honest Man
I bought insurance from someone who sells it door-to-door.
The fellow seemed real friendly and he smiled a lot.
I paid a little extra for the extended warrantee,
But there’s no delivery charge.
What a great deal!
The guys who paved my driveway came in from outta state.
They took 50% off since I paid in cash.
They told me they’d be back Friday to finish the job
And to clean up the mess.
That was a month ago.
A fella from Brooklyn showed me a genuine Swiss lady's watch.
He told me it had 17 jewels and a Beethoven alarm.
He said, "It plays for a Lisa." He wanted fifty bucks.
I told him, “My girlfriend’s named Bambi. Will it play for a Bambi?”
He said yes, so I bought it.
