about

I was told I was incapable of writing a funny song, so I wrote this song as a rebuttal. Used buggy/car/aircraft salesmen will always be with us.

lyrics

Why, I'd eat a bug to make a sale
No worries, 'cause I'm out on bail.
So come see me and my dog Spot
--At Honest Al's Used Rocket Lot

Well have I got a deal for you
This rocket here is almost new.
I swear it hardly ever flew.
In fact it's only had one crew.

Yes sure indeed it's what you seek,
We've patched up that reactor leak.
Kick the gear and take a peek.
It's the best deal we've had all week.

Yeah, I'd eat a bug to make a sale
No worries, 'cause I'm out on bail.
So come see me and my dog Spot
--At Honest Al's Used Rocket Lot

Come on down; let's make a deal.
I'll let this one go for a steal.
It's full of charm, it's got appeal
It holds air since we fixed that seal.

She's hardly used; yeah she'll sell soon,
She's only once been past the moon
We only got her in this June.
I want her off this lot by noon.

Yeah, I'd eat a bug to make a sale
No worries, 'cause I'm out on bail.
So come see me and my dog Spot
--At Honest Al's Used Rocket Lot

So bring your cash and come on by,
And off this lot my ships will fly.
Forget credit, I'd rather die.
Only take cash, now don’t ask why.

Yeah, I'd eat a bug to make a sale
No worries, 'cause I'm out on bail.
So come see me and my dog Spot
At Honest Al's Used Rocket Lot.
--Shop Honest Al's Used Rocket Lot…
--That's Honest Al's Used Rocket Lot
