THE FISHERMEN AND THE PLAYGIRL

from Semantic Expansion by Bill White

/

lyrics

we catch more fish with his net
but the fish belong to the man
we catch less fish with our spears
but those fish remain in our hands

when she was working for the mack
she earned two dimes a crack
but only got to keep one
when the night was done
now she is working for herself
nobody takes a slice
out of her price
she only makes two nickels
but she gets to keep both nickles

we chased the rich man away
some say it was foul play
and maybe it was
but we did it because
his nets got in our way
now we catch our own fishes
and wash our own dishes
and thats how its gonna stay
