Jane Siberry - Mein Bitte lyrics

rate me

I want a good deal

better if it's free

but I charge a lot

want more money

don't want to work

just want more pay

cut corners here

make more that way

(meanwhile...)

I work in a large room

(I work in a room that's large and bare)

I'm at this workbench every day

(I never miss a day)

I keep my tools very organized

(I have a special place

for all my tools)

this tinny radio is all I play

(I love music)

I'm working on this new invention

(and I'm really, really excited about it)

I think it needs something extra here

(in the evenings I read tool catalogues)

I'm studying the grain of my workbench

(I can fix anything you like)

I'm humming a tune while I wait

for the answer to appear

when I get stuck I go fishing

put in the clutch so to speak and glide

I coast among the rabble

and the right words

in my work I take great pride

(meanwhile)

I need more things

I need more money

don't want to work

want things for free

cut corners here

make more that way

I have no pride

the world is unfair

wah...

my shop is a long meadow

in a winding landscape

in a series of elevations

with a few cows

and a babbling brook

I love to do what I love to do

this excludes anything I don't like to do

the pleasure is in the peace of mind

the pleasure is mine

mein bitte...
