Jane Siberry Mein Bitte Lyrics

I want a good deal, better if it's free
But I charge a lot, want more money
Don't want to work, just want more pay
Cut corners here, make more that way

Meanwhile, I work in a large room
I work in a room that's large and bare
I'm at this work bench every day

I never miss a day, I keep my tools very organized
I have a special place for all my tools
This tinny radio is all I play, I love music

I'm working on this new invention
And I'm really, really excited about it
I think, it needs something extra here
In the evenings, I read tool catalogues

I'm studying the grain of my work bench
I can fix anything you like I'm humming a tune While I wait for the answer to appear

When I get stuck, I go fishing
Put in the clutch so to speak and glide
I coast among the rabble and the right words
In my work, I take great pride

Meanwhile, I need more things, I need more money
Don't want to work, want things for free
Cut corners here, make more that way
I have no pride, the world is unfair

My shop is a long meadow in a winding landscape
In a series of elevations with a few cows and a babbling brook

I love to do what I love to do
This excludes anything I don't like to do
The pleasure is in the peace of mind
The pleasure is mine, mein bitte
