The Lyrics
The putz is sellin’ you
a “Rolex” time-
piece. Such a deal; can it be true?
Nope, he’s lyin’,
but still you’re buyin’?!
That ain’t a gold band; it’s
base metal, you clown!
You don’t understand it,
and so you’re slappin’ your money down.
That putz is sellin’ you
a timepiece line—
you’re buyin’.
I tell you:
it ain’t true.
Talk till blue,
but still you
pull it out,
your wad; then there
goes all your money
to some shill tout,
now wealthy.
He puts your gelt into
pockets cash-lined.
a “Rolex” time-
piece. Such a deal; can it be true?
Nope, he’s lyin’,
but still you’re buyin’?!
That ain’t a gold band; it’s
base metal, you clown!
You don’t understand it,
and so you’re slappin’ your money down.
That putz is sellin’ you
a timepiece line—
you’re buyin’.
I tell you:
it ain’t true.
Talk till blue,
but still you
pull it out,
your wad; then there
goes all your money
to some shill tout,
now wealthy.
He puts your gelt into
pockets cash-lined.

I picture a guy in a trench coat. He waits for the right moment--then he flashes--a sleeve full of wrist watches! Many years ago, a fellow, who was later sent to jail, offered me a $30,000 Rolex for $30. He also had a $15,000 Rolex, but he wanted $30 for it, too. Such a rip off! What time is it? At AIR, it's always "I Put A Spell On You" time.
Patrick, did you know that after myself and JAB that you are the third place IPASOY parodist with 11??? There are 1276 total and JAB and I account for 1203, leaving 73 by various authors. Most are singles, but only you have double digit :))
Only time will tell whether this swell 'Spell' goes viral!
Kinda reminds me of the post-WW2 spivs, but at least most of their wares were the real McCoy. Nowadays in Europe, the guys selling the fake crap are mostly illegal Africans.
