lyrics

You Get What You Pay For

[Intro]
If you're gonna do it, do it right
If you're gonna screw it, screw it right
When you go to do it, gotta do it right the first time
Don't get the cheapest one, You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for

Here we go...

Friend built a surfboard
Made it out of cardboard
Took it in the ocean
Died

Sally made a casserole
With anything that she could find
Most of it was poisonous
Died.

You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for

Nelson broke his Tee Vee
Didn't want an expert
Tried to fix it on his own
Died

Johnny wanted sandwich
Only for a dollar
Walked into a fast food
Died

[Bridge]
The new king didn't want to pay for education
Threw away the books; then he made it all illegal
A big giant company installed a bunch of box stores
Everyone around the country moved inside a trailer park

You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for

Now wait a minute!

A hundred couple years ago
Some friends made a country place
We all own a little bit
You Get What You Pay For

[Outro]:
Marla wants a laptop
Any kinda laptop
Doubles as a toaster
Show me just the cheapest
Can it be a telephone?
Make it do the flip trick
Insurance? No no no no!
Just get me the cheapest
I don't need a program
Just a dumb computer
Tablet kind of cell phone
Just get me the cheapest
Take it home and press go
Make it play the best games
Where did all my stuff go
Just give me the cheapest
Died
