You Can't Buy More Yarn
Sung to tune of "You Can't Hurry Love"

by Lily Chin
 
I need wool, wool to ease my mind   I need to find, find some silk to call mine
But Hubby said
Chorus:
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
He says it all costs money. You've enough for all you make.
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
You gotta go finish yours. No matter how long it takes.
 
But how many projects must I stand   Before I find a yarn to let me start again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength is almost gone
I remember Hubby said
Chorus:
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
He says it all costs money. You've enough for all you make.
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
You gotta go finish yours. No matter how long it takes.
 
Oh I can't bear to live with my old stash.  I grow impatient for more yarn to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These hated words keep me hangin' on
I remember Hubby said
Chorus:
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
He says it all costs money. You've enough for all you make.
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
You gotta go finish yours. No matter how long it takes.
 
No, yarn, yarn don't come easy,   But I keep on waiting, anticipating
For that soft wool against my skin,   For some cashmere-silk that feels just like sin.
I keep waitin', I keep waitin', But it ain't easy, It ain't easy
But Hubby said
Chorus:
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
He says it all costs money. You've enough for all you make.
You can't get more yarn, no you just have to wait.
You gotta go finish yours. No matter how long it takes.

Moth Egg
Sung to tune of "Wild Thing"

 by Lily Chin
Moth Egg, I think I killed you, But I wanna know for sure.
So put that wool out in the sun... I killed it.
Chorus:
Moth Egg, You're what I most dread,
I wish you were dead - kill it, Moth Egg.
 
Moth Egg, I think you're moving, But I wanna know for sure.
So stick it in the freezer now... it's moving.
Chorus:
Moth Egg, You're what I most dread,
I wish you were dead - kill it, Moth Egg.
 
Get rid, get rid of Moth Egg.
Kill it, kill it - Moth Egg, Moth Egg, Moth Egg...
Chorus:
Moth Egg, You're what I most dread,
I wish you were dead - kill it, Moth Egg.

Crochet
Sung to "My Girl"

by Lily Chin
 
I've got boucle on a cloudy day,
When it's cold outside, with yarn I want to play.
Chorus:
I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way is crochet, crochet -
talking 'bout crochet
 
I've got so much yarn, much more than I can store,
If you don't watch out, I'll go and buy some more.
Chorus:
I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way is crochet, crochet -
talking 'bout crochet
 
I don't need no knitting, nor macramé,
I've got all the hooks honey, that I bou ght on ebay.
Chorus:
I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way is crochet, crochet -
talking 'bout crochet
