Why Do You Tell One At A Time?

You tire too much

Telling one at a time

And I pity you

Why do you tell only one at a time?

Gather some cash and put in on that billboard at the entrance of town

So that everyone coming in will see

Gather some other cash and put it on the billboard at the exit of town

So that everyone going out will see

For you tire too much

Telling one at a time

And I pity you

Why do you tell only one at a time?

Hire a loud speaker and let it go all around town making the announcements

So that everyone in town will get to hear what you have to say about me all at the same time

Hire some tents and call people in so that you can tell them all at the same time

For you tire too much

Telling one at a time

And I pity you

Why do you tell only one at a time?

Start a page and get sponsored ads on social media

So that those interested will get to know

Target those that already know me

For you tire too much

Telling one at a time

And I pity you

Why do you tell only one at a time?

Don’t tire too much telling my business to one at a time

While they are ways you can reach more at a time

For you tire too much

Telling one at a time

And I pity you

Why do you tell only one at a time?
