Earning Two Ears & a Nose

Absolutely not! Some costs are too dear.
I could not ask anyone to pay
an arm and a leg.
Who could afford that?
But part of a face?

And on an ugly one like yours?
I think that is quite reasonable.

Tell me, if you couldn’t smell for a spell,
wouldn’t that be just as well?
And if you couldn’t hear
for the rest of your years,
just how sad would you be, here?

I think the payment would be fine, sir,
just for you to give part of that skull.
A little bit of what is you
to prove that you want what I have
is a penurious price to pay.
With that in mind
do we have a deal?
