[GOGANS]
We got a bill of sale right here
[MA]
That says he belongs to us!
[WILLY and GOMER]
We bought him fair and square last year
And we own the little cuss!
[PA]
Look here! Read the writin' it
Gives us a legal claim
[GOGANS]
Oh, we got a bill of sale right here
[MA]
With dear little Petey's name!

[NORA]
(spoken)
I don't believe it

[PA]
We got a bill of sale in hand
[MA and PA]
And lady, if you don't budge
[WILLY and GOMER]
We'll pick you up right where you stand
And bring you before the judge
[NORA]
(spoken)
No sir!
[GOGANS]
That boy is our property
Same as the fam'ly cow
'Cause we got a bill of sale right here
And we're gonna take him now!
[NORA (GOGANS)]
You can't have him (Pete's gotta do his chores!)
You don't love him (Pete's gotta wash the doors!)
All you've done (Shine shoes!)
Up to now is (Tighten screws!)
Break his heart (Fix the broken fuse!)
You'll abuse him (Pete's gotta feed the hogs!)
And just use him. (Pete's gotta be chopping' logs!)
Look out
Or I'll take you apart!
[GOGANS]
We'd like to see you try it

We got a bill of sale right here
He's ours until he dies
[NORA]
Stay where you are. Just one more move
And you'll get it between the eyes
You won't make a slave of him
Even if you connive
[GOGANS]
Yes we will
'Cause we got a bill of sale right here
We got a bill of sale right here
We got a bill of sale right here
Right here
[NORA]
You can't have him
You don't love him
All you've done
Up to now is
Break his heart
You'll abuse him
And just use him
Look out
Or I'll take you apart!
[GOGANS]
We'd like to see you try it

We got a bill of sale right here
That says he belongs to us
Try all you want. Won't do no good to
Holler and fume and fuss
[NORA]
Leave town. Keep on goin' before
I can count to five

[GOGANS(NORA)]
We got a bill of sale right here (I'll protect him)
We got a bill of sale right here (As long as)
We got a bill of sale right here (I'm)
Right here (Alive)
