Lyrics

In a Nutshell

I looked deep within my pocket

For the note you sent to me

To put it in a nutshell

You're a heartless mercenary

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo

I looked behind the iron curtain

For a greater dignity

And now I'm more than certain

You're a heartless mercenary

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious

Push me and pull me

The blind lead the blind

I don't have no money

Can I pay you in kind?

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo
