Pandora’s Box Lyrics by Mary Crowell

Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour

2017

[Verse]
I heard you sneaking up in dirty old socks
There's evil things inside that basket
I'll need a safe — I'll need a door that locks
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box
[Chorus]
I'll put her treasure out of reach
Although you beg and bribe, beseech
There's only one way I could teach
You not to open the box
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do)
And that's to let you
Which I will not do
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Thought I should say before you went too far
There is a reason for that casket
You say you met her in Olympus Bar?
Keep your sticky little fingers off Pandora's jar
[Chorus]
Does songs of love and plays the flute
She thinks your goatee looks so cute
I know you wish I were a mute
Please, friend, don't open the jar
(Do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do-do)
Your lovely houri's
Vengeful dowry
Keep your sticky little fingers off Pandora's jar
[Verse]
"Perhaps a quiz," you say, "A lover's test?"
"There is no need to blow a gasket"
I won't give up until I've been a pest
Keep your rovin' little fingers off Pandora's chest
[Chorus]
You asked her "please?" and she said "nope"
You disobey, we lose all hope
Find some distracting way to cope
No need for grabbing the chest
I've mentioned nightly
I've asked politely
Keep your rovin' little fingers off Pandora's chest
[Verse]
I heard you sneaking up in dirty old socks
There's evil things inside that basket
I'll need a safe — I'll need a door that locks
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box
[Outro]
Keep your sticky little fingers off Pandora's jar
Keep your rovin' little fingers off Pandora's chest
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box
