My Car Boot Sale

Poet Shot

Monday, October 3rd, 2005

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I’m having a car boot sale
I’m certain of a killing
All that money I’m sure to make!
It’s gonna be so thrilling

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 I’m really very excited
Do you want to know the reason?
I’ve invited all the referees
We’ve had to endure this season

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Trust me, this is a shrewd move
Please let me tell you why
Cause all the old tat that I’ve got
I just know they’re gonna buy

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I’m sure that you’ll say
That they’ll never be that keen
But trust me, they buy everything
in all the games I’ve seen

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 If a player happens to lose the ball
all they need to do is howl,
Then take an exaggerated dive
and the ref will give a foul

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 I am sure that “Gullible”
must be their middle name
They seem to know all the rules
But they just don’t know the game

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 It makes me tear my hair out
When another dive they’ve bought
I must’ve been doing something else
When it became a no-contact sport

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 So instead of getting mad
I’m going to use this for my gain
And fleece the gullible losers
To live on caviar and champagne

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 And to achieve my final revenge
on that naïve and miserable shower
When there’s nothing left to buy
I’m gonna sell them the Eiffel Tower!
