BACK TO VERSE AND SO ON:
This is essentially the whole song (There are a couple variations
to these parts but nothing you can't figure out easily enough by
ear if you have to...) It would be a waste of time to write the same
parts over and over again (OKAY SO I'M LAZY!!!)
WORDS:
Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues, and your debts, Pay your respects
Everybody tells you You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how's she doing
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you I've lost mine
Words, words, words, have you heard
A bird in hand is much better than
Any number free to wander Fly away...
Stay You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how's she doing
Is she really all she says...
Everybody asks me how's she doing
Since she went away
I said, I couldn't tell you, I'm okay
Surprise, surprise
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how's she doing
Has she lost her...
Everybody asks me how's she doing
Since she went away
I said, I couldn't tell you, I'm okay, I'm okay
How are you? Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get... oh...
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get... Oh...
