Jim Colyer
She came from east Tennessee
Grew up poor in the hills
She learned how to survive
Made a fortune in Nashville
She wrote a song called "9 to 5"
Told some jokes about boobs.
Her name is Dolly Parton
She got rich off you
Selling Poverty
One way to get rich
Con artists everywhere
Making their pitch
Selling Poverty
One way to survive
Sharks in these waters
Will eat you alive
She came from the far north
Grew up poor in the woods
She went hungry at school
Killed rabbits for food
She met a man named Mutt
He milked her talent
Her name is Shania Twain
She stole my wallet
Selling Poverty
One way to get rich
Con artists everywhere
Making their pitch
Selling Poverty
One way to survive
Sharks in these water
Will eat you alive
They stand on street corners
Hawking a homeless paper
They don't wanna work
They're happy campers
Preachers sell religion
Keep passing the plate
They want your money
Only gullibles donate
