A song by Carol Johnston
I Got It All for Free
also called “Black and White Stripelets”
Playful & Silly 2:08
Lyrics
Black and white stripelets
Run up and down my legs
Pearl drop earrings
Hiding under lace
Polka dots culottes
Leggings speckled blue
Socks are bedazzled
And I love you
Grandma's old house coat
Auntie's mug for tea
Old spooky Chifforobe
Chippendale Settee
A broken-down footstool
And I got it all for free
Got it all for free
Got it all for free
Got it all for free
Sitting at the curbside
Lounging at the dump
Put it in my back seat
Just ignore the lump
Get it from my neighbors
Pull it from the trash
As long as it's not moving
I add it to my stash
If someone doesn't want it
And leaves it out for me
It's like I'm bargain shopping
And I got it all for free
Got it all for free
Got it all for free
Got it all for free
Green and yellow curtains
Lemon fuzzy floor
pillows that are lumpy
Gimme gimme more
Purple dancing feathers
Fly above my head
When I'm under covers
Loving you in bed
Drinking someone's coffee
Left upon a shelf
Saw your eye upon me
Introduced myself
You tried to use your money
I laughed and winked my eye
Told you, "Watch me , honey'
"It's easy if you try"
Sitting at the curbside
Lounging at the dump
Put it in my back seat
Just ignore the lump
Get it from my neighbors
Pull it from the trash
As long as it's not moving
I add it to my stash
If someone doesn't want it
And leaves it out for me
It's like I'm bargain shopping
And I got it all for free
Got it all for free
Got it all for free
Got it all for free
Polka dots culottes
Leggings speckled blue
Socks are bedazzled
And I love you
