Open Up the Border Clutch

Won't you open up the border
To rivers running green
I have kilo loads of plastic
To trade for pumpkin seeds

I know folks in Wichita as well as Santa Fe
All veterans of the trade

Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade

The Merry Wives of Windsor
I swapped for cans of Spam
While sipping fine Darjeeling
With an English man

I know folks in Liverpool as well as in Bombay
All veterans of the trade

Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade

In a tent on the caravan road you'll find those things you thought were gone
Bartered for jasmine and silk and furs of frozen mastodons

I know folks in Wichita as well as in Bombay
All veterans of the trade
