Lyrics for In a Nutshell

I looked deep within my pocket For the note you sent to me To put it in a nutshell You're a heartless mercenary Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo I looked behind the iron curtain For a greater dignity And now I'm more than certain You're a heartless mercenary Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious Push me and pull me The blind lead the blind I don't have no money Can I pay you in kind? Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo
