Cock a snoot,
Loop the loop,
Hock the hula-hoop,
But now it yo-yo’d back again
Shiver me timbers,
Just jumped ship with a little faith
We could win the championship
Parachute substitute, problem is it’s soooo cute
Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt
Outta house, outta home, outta pocket
They persuade you,
That they made you then betrayed you
And they blame you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
You bought the troll,
You bought the gonk,
You took it home, and put it on a pedestal
We needed a saviour,
But from its behavior
Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?
Tax deductible. Cash corruptible,
Never the less another pool swinner
Penniless dog tooth check,
Cash and carry Find a girl,
Settle down and marry
They persuade you,
That they made you
The proclaim,
And they’ll maim you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
I sold the Eskimo snow
Build the skyline outta playdough
Persuading you that monochrome is day glo
With the power of persuasion
