Talking Pop Art (LP版) - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

Well I went out for a walk last week [00:00:05]

I passed a shop they call a boutique [00:00:07]

Fancy Dresses of every size fancy wigs to pop your eyes [00:00:09]

Bracelets diamond rings stuff for women too [00:00:13]

Well I didn't want to see no more [00:00:22]

I slipped inside the grocery store [00:00:24]

I took down a can of beans [00:00:26]

I pulled a dollar out of my jeans [00:00:28]

A fella said Hold it [00:00:29]

That'll be three hundred dollars [00:00:34]

Well a feather could've knocked me down [00:00:40]

I mean I knew this was a high priced town [00:00:42]

But this was getting hard to take [00:00:44]

I said What the hell do you get for steak [00:00:45]

You looked surprised [00:00:48]

Said It isn't just a can of beans[00:00:50]

It's a work of art [00:00:52]

Well now I see what the poor man means [00:00:55]

He's proud of that little can of beans [00:00:57]

I didn't hear what else he said [00:00:59]

I had my eyes on a loaf of bread [00:01:01]

White bread four hundred dollars;[00:01:03]

Three for a thousand[00:01:07]

Well just about then a crowd came in [00:01:13]

And pickin's must've been pretty slim [00:01:15]

Because in just a minute or three or four [00:01:17]

They'd cleaned out that whole grocery store [00:01:19]

They bought brooms [00:01:20]

Fought over watermelons [00:01:22]

One fella put down a pickle [00:01:24]

Said I don't know much about art [00:01:25]

But I know what I like [00:01:27]

Well as I stood there wonderin' why [00:01:33]

Two little fellas came cruising by [00:01:35]

Little tight suits little black ties [00:01:37]

One of them looked at me[00:01:39]

And said My how rustic I bid a thousand [00:01:40]

I said I beg your pardon [00:01:44]

It speaks I bid five thousand [00:01:45]

So here I stand in a Superman suit [00:01:51]

And everybody says I'm cute [00:01:53]

I tried to tell them but they would not see [00:01:55]

So they hang their hats and coats on me [00:01:57]

Well a job's a job [00:01:59]

Still if I had my preference I'd rather be Batman[00:02:01]
