"Twelve For A Penny"
I saw an ad for 12 cassettes for a penny.
I filled out the form for 12 cassettes for a penny.
I mailed the form for 12 cassettes for a penny.
And I waited for my 12 cassettes for a penny.
I ordered:
Pyromania, Theatre of Pain, Brothers in Arms & Purple Rain.
No Jacket Required, Speaking in Tongues, 1984 & Van Halen I.
Licensed to Ill, Who Made Who,
Pink Floyd The Wall (that one counted as two)
In 6 to 8 weeks, my cassettes arrived.
I was so excited I almost burst.
I didn’t know what to listen to first.
I opened the bill, it was for more than a penny.
They wanted my dollars and they wanted twenty!
Oh well, I got:
Pyromania, Theatre of Pain, Brothers in Arms & Purple Rain.
No Jacket Required, Speaking in Tongues, 1984 & Van Halen I.
Licensed to Ill, Who Made Who,
Pink Floyd The Wall (that one counted as two)
I got “The Joshua Tree” CD for my birthday.
And a compact disc player, yay!
I’d never heard anything sound so great.
I listened to it every day.
But, I only had one disc, that's not very many.
Then I saw an ad for 12 CD's for a penny!
I filled out the form for 12 CD's for a penny!
And I mailed the form for 12 CD's for a penny!
You know what I ordered:
Pyromania, Theatre of Pain, Brothers in Arms & Purple Rain.
No Jacket Required, Speaking in Tongues, 1984 & Van Halen I.
Licensed to Ill, Who Made Who,
Pink Floyd The Wall (that one counted as two)
Pyromania, Theatre of Pain, Brothers in Arms & Purple Rain.
No Jacket Required, Speaking in Tongues, 1984 & Van Halen I.
Licensed to Ill, Who Made Who,
Pink Floyd The Wall (that one counted as two)
