lyrics

'Off to the market we'll go, we'll search high and we'll search low.
For we're looking for a girl to bring all the old and young boys in.
See that girl at the side of the road? She's been taken from her home,
but she's young and she'll do us proud. We'll buy her for ninety pounds.'

'Off to the market we'll go, we'll search high and we'll search low.
For we're looking for a body to buy. Then we'll take the bones and eyes,
heart, blood, liver and skin. We'll sell it all for half a million.'
'Organ trade is underground, but we'll supply if you pay in pounds.'

'Off to the market we'll go, we'll search high and we'll search low.
For we're looking for a pistol to buy. And a rifle and a carbine.
We've to calm an angry mob, so make sure they do the job.'
'Gunrunning is the way of the land, take all three for half a grand.'

'Off to the market we'll go, we'll search high and we'll search low.
We're looking for an animal hide, we don't care how many of them died.
We're looking for a tiger's fur, and we don't care how they killed her.
A hunter kills a rhino down, sells the horn for five hundred thousand pounds.
