Down there at the pawn shop,
It's a nifty place to shop.
Down there at the pawn shop.
If it's not in stone.
Down there at the pawn shop,
it's a nifty way to shop,
down there at the pawn shop.
What has been told
about made of stone
just remember that it's flesh and bone...
So, while I'm down here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
What has been sold,
not strictly made of stone,
just remember that it's flesh and bone.
And now you've heard:
life's like a bird, yeah,
but just remember that it's flesh and bone.
So, while you're here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
What! Ouh! That's riiight.
Down here at the pawn shop.
It's a nifty way to shop.
Down here at the pawn shop,
It's enough that's sold.
Down here at the pawn shop,
it's a nif- ya never shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
What has been sold,
not strictly made of stone,
just remember it's flesh and bone.
What has been sold, not strictly soul,
please remember it's flesh and bone.
While you're down here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop.
Down here at the pawn shop-yap-yap.
Huh! Oh. See.
