Some people say the prices are out of control
A poor man can't afford his rock n' roll
Country or soul or rhythm n' blues
But the feds just say give the bands their due

Download sixteen songs, and what do ya get?
Another step closer to jailtime, you bet
Now Peter, don't ya do it, 'cause you could go
Just buy your songs from the old record sto'

I was bored one mornin', I was surfin' online
I heard me some music, and it sure sounded fine
Downloaded sixteen songs by Natalie Cole
And the feds just said, well, bless my soul

Download sixteen songs, and what do ya get?
Another step closer to jailtime, you bet
Now Peter, don't ya do it, 'cause you could go
Just buy your songs from the old record sto'

I was bored one mornin', yes I'll say it again
I downloaded more songs, 'bout a hunnerd n' ten
Dowload a thousand more, add thousands to that
And the feds just said, now that is that

Download sixteen songs, and what do ya get?
Another step closer to jailtime, you bet
Now Peter, don't ya do it, 'cause you could go
Just buy your songs from the old record sto'

If ya see the feds comin', better try ta hide
Your downloaded music, or ya could go inside
For stealing Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper
And Metallica, Lars, that party pooper

Download sixteen songs, and what do ya get?
Another step closer to jailtime, you bet
Now Peter, don't ya do it, 'cause you could go

Just buuuuyyyy yoooouuuurrrr soooonnnngs...from the old record sto'
