Pen And Ink Lyrics - Singles - Magalona Francis

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 ''cause 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
