But here in California
In my Silicon-based town,
My realtor has really delivered the goods.
With my half a million
dollar shack.
Just five percent down and the shirt off my back.
I finally have something I can call my own.
Mortgage insurance and a jumbo loan.
For my half a million
dollar shack.
Conveniently placed by a railroad track.
Termites are no problem if I fumigate.
The kitchen was remodeled in sixty-eight.
But for a slice
Of paradise
You have to make
A sacrifice.
Don't think twice
Take good advice:
Offer ten k more
Than the asking price.
And you could have a view
out back.
Ten thousand square inches of concrete with cracks.
First too many people fled the midwest snows.
Now they all are cashing in on IPOs.
At least I bought before the prices really rose.
My half a million dollar
--
Don't apply if you're blue collar
For a half a million dollar
Shack.
