[Chorus]
Oh, we have to buy a tulip
Yes, we have to buy a tulip
Oh, we have to buy a tulip
So we'll sell our home
And we'll sell our clothes
And we'll sell our shoes
Everything we own
We'll sell to you

[Mr. Skull]
Well, my doctor bought a tulip
And my banker bought a tulip
And my lawyer bought a tulip
So I'll buy one, too
Maybe I'll buy ten
Maybe I'll buy more
All my friends have scored
Tulips in galore

[Chorus]
Yes! We have to buy!
No! We don't know why!
Yes! We'll buy or die!
Yes! We have to buy!
No! We don't know why!
Yes! We'll buy or die!
No! We don't know why
Yes! We'll buy or die!

[Mr. Skull]
Would you like to buy a tulip?
Would you like to buy a tulip?
Would you like to buy a tulip?
You can pick and choose
I have sold my wife
And my children, too
I have nothing but
Tulips to lose

[Chorus!]
No!

(Yes! We have to buy!
No! We don't know why!
Yes! We'll buy or die!)
