Step Right Up To The Clearance House Poetry Of Mr. Tom Waits

________________________________________________________________________________________________

STEP RIGHT UP
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, 
we got service after sales
You need perfume? we got perfume, 
how 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all

...
...
The large print giveth
and the small print taketh away

Tom Waits

Appropriately, 
STEP RIGHT UP
begins after a 15-second advert
