Sell me your shoe
And i will give you a clue
Sell me your car
And i will give you a candy bar
Sell me your life
And you will pay the price
Sell me your bell
And i will send you off to hell
Sell me your house
And i will turn you into a mouse
Sell me your wishes
And i will give you kisses
Sell me your pride
And i will send you through a long ride
Sell me your child
And i will be born wild
Sell me your hope
And i will send you a rope
Sell me your heart
And i will give you a new start
Sell me what you value most
And i will pay for something from a host

Be careful what you sell in life because in the end you will pay the price.
