"Bill of Sale" is a song from the 1977 film, Pete's Dragon. It is sung by the Gogans and Nora. It is based on the Gogans trying to convince Nora and Lampie to give Pete back to them and that they own him fair and square but it fails.
Lyrics
The Gogans:
We got a bill of sale right here
Lena:
That says he belongs to us
Grover and Willie:
We bought him fair and square last year
And we own the little cuss
Merle:
Look here, read the writin' that gives us a legal claim
The Gogans:
Oh, we got a bill of sale right here
Lena:
With dear little Petey's name!
Nora:
I don't believe it!
Merle:
We got a bill of sale in hand
Lena:
And lady, if you don't budge
Grover and Willie:
We'll pick ya up right where you stand
And bring ya before the judge
Nora:
No sir!
The Gogans:
That boy is our property
Same as the family cow
'Cause we got a bill of sale right here
And we're gonna take him now
Nora:
You can't have him
The Gogans:
Petey's gotta do his chores
Nora:
You don't love him
The Gogans:
Paint the barn and wash the doors
Nora:
All you've done
The Gogans:
Shine shoes
Nora:
Up to now
The Gogans:
Turn screws
Nora:
Is break his heart
The Gogans:
Fix the broken fuse
Nora:
You'll abuse him
The Gogans:
He's so good at feedin' hogs
Nora:
And just use him
The Gogans:
Pitchin' hay and choppin' logs
Nora:
Look out, or I'll take you apart
The Gogans:
We'd like to see you try it
We got a bill of sale right here
He's ours until he dies
Nora:
Stay where you are - just one more move
And you'll get it between the eyes!
You won't make a slave of him
Even if you connive!
The Gogans:
Yes we will, 'cause we got a bill of sale right here
We got a bill of sale right here
We got a bill of sale right here, right here!
Nora:
You can't have him
Grover:
He's gotta clean and sweep
Nora:
You don't love him
Willie:
Feed the hens and comb the sheep
Nora:
All you've done
Merle:
Plant seeds
Nora:
Up to now
Merle:
Pull weeds
Nora:
Is break his heart
Merle:
Bow to all our needs
Nora:
You'll abuse him
Lena:
Carry water from the well
Nora:
And just use him
Lena:
Answer every time we yell
Nora:
Watch out, or I'll take you apart
The Gogans:
We'd like to see you try it
We got a bill of sale right here
That says he belongs to us
Fight all ya want
Won't do no good to holler and fume and fuss
Nora:
Leave town, keep on goin' before I can count to five!
Grover:
We got a bill of sale right here
Nora:
I'll protect...
Willie:
We got a bill of sale right here
Nora:
...him...As
Merle:
We got a bill of sale right here, right here!
