I Have My Price

G. Bachlund

I have my price - it's rather high

(about the level of your eye)

but if you're nice to me I'll try

to lower it for you -

To lower it!

Upon the rope they knit

from yellow grass in Paraguay

where knitting is taboo.

Some knit them purl, some knit them plain

some knit their brows of pearl in vain.

Some are so plain, they try again

to tease the wool of love!

O felony in Paraguay

there's not a soul in Paraguay who's worth the dreamingof.

They say,

who's worth the dreaming of.
