Here comes the opossum
Carrying a sack
Through all the streets
Of the big city
The opossum gentleman
Buys odds and ends
And to buy them
He usually proclaims

Bottles for sale!
Used shoes!
Damaged hats
Mended pants!
Exchange, sell, and buy alike!

Spoiled brats!
Scaredy-cats for sale!
And children who are used
to squealing or shouting!
Exchange, sell, and buy alike!

Here comes the opossum
Carrying a sack
Through all the streets
Of the big city
The opossum gentleman
Buys odds and ends
And to buy them
He usually proclaims

Papers for sale!
Old newspapers!
Singed trinkets
And tattered gadgets!
Exchange, sell, and buy alike!

Gossipy women!
Annoying parrots!
And nagging old ladies
to put in my sack!
Exchange, sell, and buy!
Buy, sell, and exchange!
Exchange, sell, and buy alike!
