I feel like someone should have warned these yokels what they were getting into.
he offered them a good right arm
to help them save the family farm
for ergo he was damn near good as rain
then came the time for them to choose
an offer they could not refuse
with easy-outs and capital gain
no one has a suspicious feelin
you really couldn't call it stealin'
he did it with a style most would admire
but he had picked 'em off like a bird on a wire
he had open fire on a bird on a wire
a nudge a wink and they'd be gettin higher
he whipped out his fountain pen
while the tears were gettin' drier
and then he picked 'em off like a bird on a wire
there ain't a kid with a BB gun
or an alley cat with room to run
who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire
yeah, he could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire
