Cock a snoot, loop the loop, hock the hula-hoop
But now it yo-yo'd back again shiver me timbers
Just jumped ship with a little faith
We could win the championship
Parachute substitute, problem is it's so cute
Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt
Outta house, outta home, outta pocket
They persuade you, that they made you then betrayed you
And they blame you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion, the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
You bought the troll, you bought the gonk
You took it home and put it on a pedestal
We needed a savior but from it's behavior
Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?
Tax deductible, cash corruptible
Never the less another pools winner
Penniless dog tooth check, cash and carry find a girl
Settle down and marry
They persuade you, that they made you
The proclaim and they'll maim you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion, the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
I sold the Eskimo snow
Build the skyline outta play do
Persuading you that monochrome is day glow
With the power of persuasion
