Don't tell me anything anyhow Your contribution, proposed solution fails for now Because I can see your house from here Now the leaves have fallen, dear You're such a little privateer As your confession draws more near
Don't sell me anything of any kind Your one-time offer is so uncalled for You call it peace of mind But I don't want your life insurance Home, auto, health, fire insurance Just make this basic inference Employ a little common sense
Time and again I find I'm listless or rather fistless In time that's what I find Carry me to Mecca with what you may divine Take me with you, take me with you, don't leave me behind
Don't give me anything of anykind Your trite donation, commercialization Won't hold water now Because I can see your ship from here Now the weather's bright and clear You're such a little privateer As your confession draws near
