And so, you've made a nasty mess You have caused your mother great distress They're bound to even up the score You'll get no sweeties any more They'll give your friends a talking to Persuade them not to play with you They'll tell them 'bout your awful crime There'll be no second chance this time ♪ It seems they're out to take your skin They'll cut you up and throw you in They say you've led them up the path And now they'll take their turn to laugh They say they laid a careful trap And now you've fallen in their lap They're about to make you sacrifice And you're the one to pay the price ♪ It's no use knocking on the door There's none can help you any more You've gambled and your chance was lost And now you'll have to pay the cost You wouldn't take your mum's advice And now you'll have to pay the price They say the piper, he calls the tune You'll hear his music very soon They say the piper, he calls the tune You'll hear his music very soon
