MY TREASURES OF JUNK

I work at the flea market Friday, Saturday and Sunday
buying and selling junk to make a little money
the more that I sell, the more I seem to buy
so I'll never get rich before I die

I buy bicycles, tricycles and bells that ring
I buy knives and guns and toy trains
rocking chairs, straight chairs, dressers and beds
little red wagons, rocking horses, teddy bears and sleds

I buy washers, dryers, wash basins and sinks
refrigerators, microwaves and dishes that break
I buy spoons, forks and skillets, pots and pans
each night on my knees I fold my two dirty hands

I've got coffee tables, end tables, lamps and rugs
a pretty little wife provides me kisses and hugs
I've got everything that's been invented by man
got a great big house and a fair piece of land

Three days I labor, four days I rest
like a golden hen on a silver nest
now all I need is a great big truck
if I'm gonna get to Heaven with all my junk
