Neil Cicierega

[Verse 1]

Market Town

What a doozy walking 'round

With all these putrid people everywhere

"You've gotta buy this!"

Screams a whiskey stinking vermin vendor

Holding up a rotten pear

[Chorus 1]

But I hold on to my dollar

Looking all around me

In this place, I hide my face

But dirty people hound me

[Verse 2]

Market Street

I could use a bite to eat

But I don't want to buy a whole raw fish, no

No, not a blanket!

Yes, it's lovely but I'm hungry

And that's really not my favorite dish

[Pre-Chorus]

So I hold on to my moolah

My mazuma, money

There's no trash that's worth my cash

It all just smells too funny

[Chorus 2]

In Marketland

(You can buy what's in demand)

Fifteen years ago, wow

In Marketland

(All the world is in your hands)

I'd go wash it off now

[Verse 3]

Market Lane

Either I'm going insane

Or there's an urchin hawking book reports

Oh, that's a new one:

Some old guy with just one eye's

Selling his obviously soiled shorts

[Chorus 1]

But I hold on to my dollar

Looking all around me

In this place, I hide my face

But dirty people hound me

[Verse 4]

Market Hell

There's no food too old to sell

There is no merchandise too urine-stained

"You've gotta buy this!"

Scream the whiskey stinking vermin vendors

Well, at least I'm entertained

[Pre-Chorus]

Still, I hold on to my moolah

My mazuma, money

There's no trash that's worth my cash

It all just smells too funny

[Chorus 2]

In Marketland

(You can buy what's in demand)

Fifteen years ago, wow

In Marketland

(All the world is in your hands)

I'd go wash it off now

[Chorus 2]

In Marketland

(You can buy what's in demand)

Fifteen years ago, wow

In Marketland

(All the world is in your hands)

I'd go wash it off now

[Outro]

Now, now, now
