No matter what the price
even if the fire is dancing on the ice
even if the retailer appears nice
I still make sure to roll the dice

Spending to satiate my heart
even money knows its part
not making one party more weighty
and the other hollow and empty

There are no limits
no rules to follow

Sometimes it may sound rude
but if you do not haggle
people might take everything
and you may have to walk back home
broke, exposed and nude

Oh dude

Thats the reason I say
fixed price doesn’t fix your balance

You cant buy goods on emotions alone
you need cash to make the world spin

And still
the rich are mostly poor
because money is all they have

Funny how that looks
depending on the angle you stand

Sometimes I feel like
I shouldn’t haggle with retailers
just trying to earn their living
but conversation is an art

When you’re in a local market
not in a mart
haggling is not a crime

You sharpen your bargaining skills
when you finally reach your prime

When I like something
I squeeze my pocket like a lime
just checking if I can find a dime

The market is sometimes sour
sometimes sweet and fruity

I make sure to get the best price
because haggling
haggling has its own beauty
