Barter Town
Come and live in Barter Town...
there's nothing like it I have found.
Trade is how you buy stuff here.
You can even buy yourself a beer.
Suppose you need to fix your car...
you need not travel very far.
Joe the mechanic will help you out...
if you can help on his paper route.
Mary Joe makes tasty honey...
which she will trade for one fat bunny.
Fred the farmer needs help to till his ground...
Bob the baker needs to remove a mound...
of blackberry bushes he just cut down.
All the help is within this town.
Bob the baker will help till Fred's ground...
then Fred will help Bob remove his mound.
Jill makes wonderful homemade bread...
but she would like some fruit instead.
Nelly has a lot of extra fruits...
that she will give Jill for a pair of boots.
So if you like the way we do stuff here...
come join us for an ice cold beer
