In the spirit of Frank Hayess Hucksters SongÉ
| Em | It was the con | Am ven | tion. Back at | D home | , theres lots to | B7 read | . |
| Em Hands | of a | Am deal | er, you have | G spent | my hard-earned | A dough | ! |
| Em You | cant be | Am tray | me so! | F# | You cannot | B go | B7 |
| Use my | Em purse | for a | D pur | chase, see my | G prec | ious profits | Em blown |
| In a | Am mom | ent not for a | Em mom | ent! |
| At a | D tab | le | Bm not | your | Em own | . |
Hands that have worked so, you know what moneys for!
Youre trained to rake it in not to spend more!
Its not twelve bucks that matters, its my reputation, scarred
In a moment but in that moment,
Twelve bucks charged on my card.
| Oh, | D hands | so tight- | Bm fist | ed, have you | Em seen | a | D deal | so | Em fine | ? |
| Am Four | of the | ElfQuest | books for e | F# lev | en ninety- | B nine | ! | B7 |
| Now, theyre | Em not | the graphic | D nov | els, just the | G flim | sy comic | Em books | . |
| But for a | Am mom | ent shining | Em mom | ent! |
| They seem | D worth | the | Bm price | they | Em took | . |
Hands of a dealer, can you deal with what youve done?
You held temptation off, but temptation finally won!
And I may be back come morning, with more money in my hands.
And in a moment some weak moment
I will yield to its demands.
| In that | Am hated | , horrid | Em mom | ent |
| That pries | D cash | from | Bm dealers | Em hands | . |
