You Too

Judy, shake me up!
Turn my chair around;
Help me with my cup;
Debit one more pound.
Drown the newborn pup;
Make the children cry.
Crush the buttercup;
Swat the butterfly.
If you can’t pay,
I’ll foreclose on you,
And if you complain,
Well, I’ll ruin you too.

I’ll take what you’ve got,
Rent it back for more.
If you feel distraught,
There’s the bloody door.
Sleep on a hard cot.
Bare walls where I dwell.
Keep my townhouse hot;
Ready me for Hell.
If you can’t pay,
I’ll foreclose on you,
And if you complain,
Well, I’ll ruin you too.

You’ll never be free;
I hold every deed.
Pay your rent to me,
Grandfather Smallweed.
Though I’m elderly,
I’ll outlive you all.
Bow to make your plea;
On your knees you’ll crawl.
If you can’t pay,
I’ll foreclose on you,
And if you complain,
Well, I’ll ruin you too.
