The Lyrics
I'm at badave.com. . .
You need cash
Bring it I'll buy it
You need weed?
Don't wanna hear it
What I'm trying do here is run a pawn shop ( Selling necklaces )
Got what you want ( Game cartridges )
We're selling ( Old compact discs )
Stuff you need son ( Wooden dresser chests )
Buy here
I am not selling thongs
or tender loins
I am not selling bongs
and no condoms
What I'm trying to do here is run a pawn shop ( Selling tricycles )
Need to get home ( Ten-speed bicycles )
Come here ( Fashion end tables )
Sell me those clothes ( Ancient Greek bibles )
Yeah
I can give it to you
Enough money
And all I'm taking
from your wrist honey
Is that Rolex for 50 bucks you'll get home
( Pawn It, Pawn It, Pawn It. . .) Yeah honey, buy it back soon
( Laptops and mouses ) Yeah ( Golden laced blouses )
Hooo gold watches
They're worth some money
Them Sony games
Like pots of honey
But I need you to sign here please
saying that it's yours
Your shtick ain't stolen
( Brea ea ea ing) Short on bills, come and see me
( Printer laser jets)
I'll buy your clock now ( More than you'd expect )
Silver, gold & diamond rings selling things for near nothing
Speakers, phones & clean linens
Flat screen color Tvs ohhhh (Buy it from me,etc.)
It's David's Pawn Shop oh yeah ( Lawn Mowers and silk vests)
Cause Our prices are tops ( Our prices are best )
Don't pay too much
When you're buying
We'll beat out K-Mart
You break, you buy it
Cash
Stuff for your home
All we sell guns now and cell phones
Bring it I'll buy it
You need weed?
Don't wanna hear it
What I'm trying do here is run a pawn shop ( Selling necklaces )
Got what you want ( Game cartridges )
We're selling ( Old compact discs )

Parodying this song earns you much R-E-S-P-E-C-T, that is what it says to me.
Loved it. Haven't even seen the inside of a pawn shop since college days,maybe '66 or so, and never actuallly pawned anything, but I used to enjoy prowling the triple-ball houses that then lined a segment of ??? - can't remember which road -- in Arlington, VA in search of bargains on guitars and other musical gear. Biggest prize was a rare-ish steel banjo ukelele bought for $5 and for whose like I've seen e-Bay bids surpass $400. Alas, mine disappeared sometime during the summer of '69, between college and grad school. I'm betting it went the way all those boxes of later-to-be valuable baseball cards that my mom chucked out. Sigh. Oh well ... today I'm here to pawn this $555 genuine fake Rolex ... :-)
Sir BAD, don't be a 'pawn' to this crazy economy! I just paid $2.61/gal this AM, before heading east to Milpitas.(for work)
Nice pawntification.
You got me shopping to the beat, Dave! OK, I need a Rolex, a diamond necklace, and a DVD player. I would also like to sell clothes I grew out of, a watch, some of my jewelry, and some of my DVD's. Sorry,I just couldn't resist that. Anyways, awesome parody you wrote. This is a great song for a commercial jingle for your pawn shop! Keep it up! Hope you can make a recording of this song someday! 555.
Snags and capsules the essence of the pawn broker business very well
I didn't log on looking for pawn, but I found here at BaDave's :) Good job!
Thanks everybody, surprised this song hasn't been hit more than it has:)
Matthias: thanks, and it's actually more challenging than it may seem.
Stan Hall: Thank very much, I only go into pawn shops myself to look for ancient video games, they seem to attract those a lot. I may need to find that place in Arlington you are talking about, wonder if they sell N64s.
LCP: You won't believe what I saw today then, 1.95 for gas at the WaWa down the street (WaWa, what kind of name for a gas chain is that--and what does it have to do with Wild Geese). Hope it continues, I haven't paid 1.95 in so long.
John Barry: Thanks
Christ Marie M: Sounds like an even trade to me, thanks, and I'm pretty sure this one will make it onto my recording list, Aretha is a fun original artist to sing after.
AFW: Thank you AFW, writing it actually made me want to run one a little.
Peregrin: Thank you very much, we also have great 'folding chairs':)
