The DVD lady came over today
And she was Chinese
She knocked at my door
And as soon as I opened,
“You wanting teefeetee pleeease?”
“I haw new mowie and ca’toon
Awl ve’y gooo’
I giw yooou gooo’ price, I p’omise yooou
You wanting Robin Hooo’?”
“I am free tonight,” I thought to myself,
“and a movie would be great.”
I thought I’d buy one, but she sure didn’t
So I ended up buying eight
“Sank yooou my f ‘ iend, I cum back agaiiin”
She packed her CD’s and left
I played the disks, they sure were jammed
… now that’s black market theft!
