Make two and two be twenty-two, sell chickpeas for the price of grapes.
Flatter them, persuade them, whoever can benefit you.
Be a yes-man, take the sugar.
This is good, take the sugar.

Walk straight, and you will fall, walk crooked on a crooked path.
To rise above all, climb any ladder you find.
Sometimes like this, take the sugar,
Sometimes like that, take the sugar,
Give money, take the sugar,
Hurry up and go!
Don't grieve, just take the sugar,
Time is short, just take the sugar,
