Come on  Earl,
let's go to the best
bar in town
and I'll buy you a beer.

                **** no. I don't
                have any money
                and you don't
                have any either.

Oh, come on Earl,
when I first saw you
I thought, I'd really like
to have a beer

with that guy.
                **** no. All I've got
                is some change.
                I don't want

                any money.
                I don't need
                any money.
Tell you what.

You give me
fifty cents,
and I'll buy you
a beer in the best

bar in town.
                OK, it's a deal.
                (He reached into his pocket,
                pulled out his hand full of change,

and gave me two quarters.
I took them gratefully
and put them away.
We walked to the bar.
