The Bazaar in Ouarzazate
Had an emerald for sale. We heard
In the silver band were etched the initials
Of you know who
His momma pawned the Gulfstream;
Returned the antiquities to Italy;
Said in no uncertain terms buy it back for
My youngest son
Please don't tell me nothing
I'd rather tell me nothing
Keep me in the dark
With the opposite of anything
Went through my per diems
By the middle of the morning
You won't mind me writing my own
Receipts for boys or smoke
Contracted three merchant fevers;
Embellished two early evenings;
At an arcade in the afternoon looked back
And forth with you know who
Please, don't tell me nothing
I'd rather tell me nothing:
Keep me in the dark
With the opposite of anything
