Thread Name: Origins: When I First Came to This Land
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: When I first came to this land
My partner, Landlady's Daughter, used to sing a housing parody of this song called "I Ripped Off What I could." The first verse ran:
When I first came to this land, I was not a wealthy man; So I bought a row of shacks And I ripped off all I could! I called those rows, "Pay Through the Nose" And the rents were sweet and good, I ripped off what I could!
