I won't carry you piggyback
I won't take you where you tell me
Even if I were shod in gold
Even if I were harnessed to three wheels
On the cart of the wind
Even if I were bridled to a rainbow
Don't try to grease my palm
I won't even with my feet in my pocket
Threaded through a needle tied into a knot
Or whittled into a simple stick
Don't try to scare me
I won't even roasted or overroasted
Raw or salted
Not even in a dream
Don't go on kidding yourself
It doesn't work, I won't
