Business

Give me what I want

We can iron all this out

Please don’t make me

walk across that gray bridge

I want to come to an agreement

I would like to see you naked

My first preference would in fact be

an ambulance ride

You can play the bugle

You see, it was a hard year

I had to sell everything

And at such cheap prices

I’m not sure I can forgive myself

and I certainly won’t forgive you

Let’s come to terms

Let’s talk confidentially, you and I

Let’s make it squeal

How much worse can it possibly get?

I have it on good authority that

you aren’t all you’re cracked up to be

I’d like to see your accountant

I’d like to see the slightest jiggle

Come on, what will it cost you?

And for just this smallest moment

one you’d certainly never miss

You might give me my revenge

my fondest wish

Who wants to live forever?
