Francis Magalona A Pen And Ink Lyrics

A Pen And Ink Lyrics

Went to the store to buy me a pen

 The pen wouldn't write so I traded for a hen

 The hen wouldn't lay so I traded for a ray

 The ray wouldn't shine so I traded for a vine

 The vine wouldn't swing so I traded for a ring

 The ring wouldn't fit so I traded for a hit

 The hit wouldn't run so I traded for a gun

 The gun wouldn't shoot so I traded for a flute

 The flute wouldn't blow so I traded for a hoe

 The hoe wouldn't heave like holes in a sieve

 Like folds in a sleeve and I think it's time to leave

 So don't underestimate the power of the pen

 Because the power of the mind translates into the pen

 And if the power of the pen comes from w/in

 Like the power of the mind that makes you think

 Just think will this pen ever run out of ink?

 The pen kept gliding on a piece of paper

 The hand was guiding it 'cuz sooner or later

 Thoughts would emerge everytime I get

 the urge to write on a pad all the thoughts I ever had

 We write the right rhymes so don't try to bite mine

 In spite of this you still write to spite

 We write the songs that make people sing along

 You write for a fee and make a lot of enemies

 You dig for the dirt get cash for the trash

 How much would it cost for you to kiss my ass?

 Because the pen is mightier than the sword

 Heavens to Betsy, oh, my Lord!

 If you believe, you shall receive

 And if you deceive, we will besiege

 Because the power of the mind translates

 into the pen And if the power of the pen comes from within

 Like the power of the mind that makes you think

 Just think, will this pen ever run out of ink?

 Yeah?use a pencil
