Two can play the game
Or is it three they say?
I went with lil brother
To a candy selling shop

You two!
Stop There!
You tiny little thieves!
How dare you walk in here
And buy nothing but shoplift

Oh no sire!
Good looking gentleman
I and me lil brother is not capable of
I pray you are mistaken
And please do some checking
So I and the lil one may be on our way

Go on you two
Innocent looking fiends
Before all I have for sale will but still be here

And away I pulled my lil one along
But passed a while when all I saw was
A candy in his mouth.
