Shylock Lyrics by Buffalo

1973

[Verse 1]
A penny to a pound to a piece of flesh
You've put yourself in debt
I just won't take no less
I'm a money lending miser
Á usurer and thief
If you don't pay what you owe me
You won't get no relief

[Chorus]
Oh Shylock, oh Shylock
Oh Shylock, oh Shylock
Pay me now, pay me now

[Verse 2]
Your daughter's gone and left you
She's married to a tramp
Your mother's still in jail
Your father's turning camp
You ain't got no excuses
I won't take no I.O.U
If you don't soon pay me
I'm gonna have to sue

[Chorus]
Oh Shylock, oh Shylock
Oh Shylock, oh Shylock
Pay me now, pay me now

[Verse 3]
A penny to a pound to a piece of flesh
You've put yourself in debt
I just won't take no less
I'm a money lending miser
Á usurer and thief
If you don't pay what you owe me
You won't get no relief

[Chorus]
Oh Shylock, oh Shylock
Oh Shylock, oh Shylock
Pay me now, pay me now

[Outro]
