Black Market
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Black Market
Sneak around the corner
Black Market
Peek around the corner
Come! I'll show you things you cannot get elsewhere
Come! Make with the offers and you'll get your share
Black Market
Powdered milk for bikes
Souls for Lucky Strikes
Got some broken down ideals? Like wedding rings?
Sh! Tiptoe
Trade your things
I'll trade you for your candy
Some gorgeous merchandise
My camera, it's a dandy
Six by nine, just your size
You want my porcelain figure?
A watch? A submarine?
A Rembrandt? Salami? Black lingerie from Wien?
I'll sell my goods
Behind the screen
No ceiling, no feeling
A very smooth routine
You buy my goods
And boy my goods are keen
Black Market
Coo-coo clocks and treasures
Thousand little pleasures
Black Market
Laces for the missus
Chewing gum for kisses
Come! And see my big binoculars this week
Price? Only six cartons one puff a peek
Black Market
Milk and microscope for liverwurst and soap
Browse around I've got so many toys
Don't be bashful
Step up, boys
You like my first edition?
It's yours, that's how I am
A simple definition
You take art, I take spam
To you for your K ration
My passion and maybe an inkling
A twinkling or real sympathy
I'm selling out - take all I've got!
Ambitions! Convictions! The works!
Why not?
Enjoy my goods, for, boy, these goods are hot!
