Black Market

My wife and I were thinking of adopting, but gosh darn if it's not an expensive undertaking. The costs towards an agency can be well into five figures (a non-profit agency at that). So I had another idea. I'll buy a baby. You know, on the black market. Of course theres only one problem with that... and that is, how was I going to tell my 2 year old boy where his new little brother came from. So I wrote a song, and I've been playing it to him on guitar every night before bed. It goes something like this:

Time to be a brother, time to be a friend
To a little new one, that only cost a few grand

Gonna buy a baby, gonna skip the non-profit,
Gonna buy a baby, on the black market

Mommy's tummy won't get big, Daddy's wallet won't go flat
If you don't like the little kid, we can always get a cat (and in that case)

Gonna sell a baby, gonna make a profit
Gonna sell a baby, on the black market

(Breakdown section here)
Hear the pitter patter, of the little feet...
Hear the pitter patter, of the little feet...

I'm just getting started, but so far, he really likes it!

Was this written to the tune of Afternoon Delight?

It jumped right out the first time I was reading this.

Nice work!
