Not Nearly Enough Sugar
he's afraid of my lemonade
I'm afraid of his nickle
it would be
an odd trade
and who knows?
it might tickle
tickling is fun
but it can also
be torture
and a nickle's worth of lemonade
ain't enough
if the day's a real
scorcher
and what if I spike it
with truth serum
or Love Potion #9?
and what if he gets tired
of standing
in line?
thought it would be easy
to make
a sale
I hear business is booming
along this street
in hell
but he can tell
there are other
stands in
the shade
and girls who will
give him
free lemonade
