Well I ducked inside the doorway,
of the Diamond Discount store,
and a sign placed in the window,
said 'Everything Must Go'
So I bummed it down to St Johns,
and I waited on the shore,
'till the fog horn sang a low song,
called 'Everything Must Go'
Then a ship came cross the water,
sailed nine times round the bay,
she was called 'The Merchant's Daughter'
and she carried me away
but the captain loved his silver,
and the bosun loved his blade,
but all of us that sailed her,
there was nothing to be gained
and everything must go
and everything must go
but she foundered off of Kingston
in a ragin' force ten gale,
so we burned her to her waistline,
as they herded us to gaol,
and they whupped us for our boldness
and they beat us for our pride,
but they feared us for the coldness,
that we'd locked away inside,
where everything must go,
where everything must go,
now the moneyed have their borders,
to maintain a flawless face,
and the soldiers have their orders,
for to keep us in our place,
when I made it back to St Johns.
I stood upon the shore,
and I sang the fog horn's low song
'Everything Must Go'
and everything must go..
everything must go..
everything must go..
everything must go..
