I’ll give you the forest
And I’ll take the trees
You save the whales
And I’ll keep the bees
The sand in your eyes
My hair full of fleas
You just say thank you
I’ll always say please
A rat in his maze
A mouse with his cheese
You let them eat cake
I’ll eat my peas
You walk the plank
I’ll bend their knees
Yours is a promise
Mine is a tease
I’ll sing your praises
I’ll do it with ease
We’ve plenty of wood
We’ll never freeze
They’ll call you a con artist
They’ll say I’m a sleaze
That’s just grist for the mill
Where we charge our fees
