Get What You Pay For Lyrics by Peter Tork

Stranger Things Have Happened

1994

There’s a story going 'round
Some folks have not heard it yet
Well, you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get
This is what I'm hearing
As I hang out on the set
Well, you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get
Whoa, children
Please don’t forget
That you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get
Now here comes cosmic oil can Harry
He's gonna collect on your karmic debt
'Cause you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get, yeah
Whoa, children
Please, please, please don’t forget
Well, you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get
Now you're hangin' from the trapeze of life by one finger
And you're slippin' and you’re prayin' for a net
Well, you get what you pray for
And you pay, pay, pay for what you get
Whoa, children
Please, please, please don't forget
That you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get, yeah, my pet
Whoa, children
Please, please, please don’t forget, remember this
You get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get, yeah, my pet
Whoa
For the last time now, please don't forget, remember this
That you get what you pay for
And you pay for what you get, yeah
