[Verse 1]
Market Town
What a doozy walking 'round
With all these putrid people everywhere
"You've gotta buy this!"
Screams a whiskey stinking vermin vendor
Holding up a rotten pear

[Chorus 1]
But I hold on to my dollar
Looking all around me
In this place, I hide my face
But dirty people hound me

[Verse 2]
Market Street
I could use a bite to eat
But I don't want to buy a whole raw fish, no
No, not a blanket!
Yes, it's lovely but I'm hungry
And that's really not my favorite dish

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hold on to my moolah
My mazuma, money
There's no trash that's worth my cash
It all just smells too funny
[Chorus 2]
In Marketland
(You can buy what's in demand)
Fifteen years ago, wow
In Marketland
(All the world is in your hands)
I'd go wash it off now

[Verse 3]
Market Lane
Either I'm going insane
Or there's an urchin hawking book reports
Oh, that's a new one:
Some old guy with just one eye's
Selling his obviously soiled shorts

[Chorus 1]
But I hold on to my dollar
Looking all around me
In this place, I hide my face
But dirty people hound me

[Verse 4]
Market Hell
There's no food too old to sell
There is no merchandise too urine-stained
"You've gotta buy this!"
Scream the whiskey stinking vermin vendors
Well, at least I'm entertained
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, I hold on to my moolah
My mazuma, money
There's no trash that's worth my cash
It all just smells too funny

[Chorus 2]
In Marketland
(You can buy what's in demand)
Fifteen years ago, wow
In Marketland
(All the world is in your hands)
I'd go wash it off now

[Chorus 2]
In Marketland
(You can buy what's in demand)
Fifteen years ago, wow
In Marketland
(All the world is in your hands)
I'd go wash it off now

[Outro]
Now, now, now
