Scavengers Yard

    ‎‎I closed my eyes and made a wish
    Lord, don’t let me lose this fish
    Scored myself a genuine squillionaire
    I'm the drawing room boy with the pinky ring
    I'm here to sell you anything
    I’ve got a brand new friend
    And we’re doing a good job there

    Thought he’d come down to sniff around
    In my old blood-stained hunting ground
    Walked right in, I never should have stayed
    He’s taking all my sage advice
    So keep it shut, you’ll get your slice
    We do him both ends twice and we both get paid

    In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam
    Welcome - the bag man’s home
    Come on down to where the tigers roar
    In Scavengers Yard the wild things roam
    Welcome - the bag man’s home
    You’ll find me down on the killing floor

    Now as someone I’d recommend
    I bring you in, a dear old friend
    Who knows just where there’s another shiny toy
    It goes the way I want it to
    There’s a major drink in this for you
    Finder wins and seller too, old boy

    He’s a greedy swine, he loves a steal
    We tell him here’s one killer deal
    I’ll hold his hand and a reaming there will be
    I’ve let him know he’s number one
    I’ve told him as a rule of thumb
    I don’t trust anyone, not even me

    Never had a sucker come on like this
    He’s giving me arthritis
    I feel like I have grown a set of claws
    I'm not going to let this one slip
    And I don’t intend to lose my grip
    Now that I’ve got him in my jaws

    In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam
    Welcome - the bag man’s home
    Come on down to where the tigers roar
    In Scavengers Yard the wild things roam
    Welcome - the bag man’s home
    You’ll find me down on the killing floor
