I get my money just once a week

Then I go walking in the High Street

All those posters try to catch my eye

Saying come in and buy me

I said 'my money's

just as good as the rest'

You tell me straight

you only deal in the best

You say 'I'm not trying

to mess you about

But I'm afraid that I'm just clean out'

I don't believe you when you say

You ain't got what I want

I met some people

that really ought to know me

I'm coming on strong and they're

coming on slowly

Talking to them

just trying to get through

They say 'Come back

with something new'

My ideas - they're as good as the rest

You tell me straight

you only deal in the best

You say 'Don't come here

wasting my time'

You say 'I'm not a musician

but the company's mine'

I don't believe you when you say

You ain't got what I want
