A Pen And Ink Lyrics - Francis Magalona

1 Went to the store to buy me a pen

2 The pen wouldn't write so I traded for a hen

3 The hen wouldn't lay so I traded for a ray

4 The ray wouldn't shine so I traded for a vine

5 The vine wouldn't swing so I traded for a ring

6 The ring wouldn't fit so I traded for a hit

7 The hit wouldn't run so I traded for a gun

8 The gun wouldn't shoot so I traded for a flute

9 The flute wouldn't blow so I traded for a hoe

10 The hoe wouldn't heave like holes in a sieve

11 Like folds in a sleeve and I think it's time to leave

12 So don't underestimate the power of the pen

13 Because the power of the mind translates into the pen

14 And if the power of the pen comes from w/in

15 Like the power of the mind that makes you think

16 Just think will this pen ever run out of ink?

17 The pen kept gliding on a piece of paper

18 The hand was guiding it 'cuz sooner or later

19 Thoughts would emerge everytime I get

20 the urge to write on a pad all the thoughts I ever had

21 We write the right rhymes so don't try to bite mine

22 In spite of this you still write to spite

23 We write the songs that make people sing along

24 You write for a fee and make a lot of enemies

25 You dig for the dirt get cash for the trash

26 How much would it cost for you to kiss my ass?

27 Because the pen is mightier than the sword

28 Heavens to Betsy, oh, my Lord!

29 If you believe, you shall receive

30 And if you deceive, we will besiege

31 Because the power of the mind translates

32 into the pen And if the power of the pen comes from within

33 Like the power of the mind that makes you think

34 Just think, will this pen ever run out of ink?

35 Yeah?use a pencil
