Old Elsie Clutter decided one day
She had a few things she could sell on eBay
She sold a few knicks knacks, a few bits of tat
Got hooked on the selling and never looked back.
She started to sell everything in her home
The fridge and the cooker, and even the phone
She became a top seller, cream of eBay
You could say that old Elsie got carried away.
One day she was sitting in her empty flat
All had been sold, except for the cat
She looked at poor Tiddles, her faithful old pet
Then put him on eBay, without a regret.
She even got rid of the clothes that she wore
Old saggy knickers and knackered old bra
Wrinkled old stockings, shoes with no soles
An old pair of corsets, a grey vest with holes.
Old Elsie now had nothing to sell
If she had any teeth, she’d have sold those as well
“I’ve got nothing left and my work is all done
I may have f*** all but I’ve had lots of fun”
