Step right up, step right up
Because today, a grand auction
My two young apprentice street performers
Will be presenting you with some
Swear words for the wholesalers
Headaches for the charlatans
Puns for the artists
Words of love for the lovers
Word for word for the copycats
A word for a word for the snitches
Clever words for the a**holes
Mopeds for the thieves
Today, a grand auction
We're buying second-hand words
Trendy and cheap words
And also collector's words
Cod for the fishmongers
And ugliness for the not-so-pretty
Lost words for the lost souls
Words in the air for the birds
Passwords for the suspicious
And key-words for the prisoners
Funny words for the children
Taboo words for the tabbouleh
Today, a grand auction
We're buying second-hand words
Trendy and cheap words
And also collector's words
Crosswords for the retirees
And sweet nothings for the crushes
Orders for the orderly
Arrow-words for the Indians
Mummies for the pyramids
Half-words for the half-pints
Running words for the fast ones
And the final word for the song
