Inspired By a Slim Harpo Song By Ron Porter

I said I like what you're selling
but I'm not the type to pay.
I live over there?; ?the yellow door,
come see me on? "free sample day?"
She laughed and said "you're silly,
cash up front is the only way."
And down? ?the street she went.
You know what?? ?She came by anyway.
Best fi'ty dollars I Never spent.
