A fair price to pay

All right, let’s see

He gave me one hundred and fifty bucks

That’s enough for an hour, not for a night

It can’t be my fault he’s so boring I fell asleep

But a thousand should cover that

And come to think of it, let’s add twenty for this smell of milk

At least, I dearly hope it is milk

And another twenty so the wife never learns

It isn’t my fault that my tongue sometimes slips

I’ll take ten for the hangover and not puking on his clothes

And let’s say ten for all the time I spent on him

Time I’ll never get back, because it never comes back

Ten dollars seems a fair price to pay

Screw it, make it fifteen

These are my golden years, I’m at my best age

Fifteen dollars seems a fair price to be spending them on him

For that bruise he gave me; ten dollars

That time he scared me; ten dollars

The way I’m feeling right now; ten dollars

One thousand two hundred and forty five

That’s a month’s rent and a couple of meals

But god, it’s not even

I’m only human, it’s not even

Who walks around with a fiver in his wallet?

You can’t get anything for that

One thousand two hundred and fifty

It’s a fair price to pay, don’t you think?

I would say

He wears a suit, he has more

It’s a very fair price, it’s a generous price

And I don’t even like the guy

No, it’s a fair price to pay

Don’t you think?

I should say

But just in case he doesn’t agree, this is when I should probably leave
