Something for Nothing Man

Something for Nothing Man

Always he does things on the cheap

Free and easy his battle cries

Cobwebs line his leather purse

He fleeces friends like woolly sheep


Free and easy his battle cries

A coupon-clipper extraordinaire

Give him gratis or give him death

“On the house” his favorite words


Cobwebs line his leather purse

“Free of charge” his favorite tune

Low-price bargains make him swoon

A gratuitous, something for nothing man


He fleeces friends like woolly sheep

When the check comes and it’s time to pay

He runs like hell the other way

Well fed, foolish and friendless.
