Sales Resistance

You can tell me my neighbor across the street bought it;
That Life would be better for me if I got it
You can say that there's certainly no doubt about it
I just can't afford to be caught dead without it!
You may add it's not sold in a shop or a store—
But you won't get your foot, Mr. Man, in my door!
I'm a housewife who's practical, prudent, and sensible—
The product you're selling is not indispensable!
I'm wary of salesmen who tell me today
No money down and two years to pay!
Installment plan buying is just not for me—
So leave me your card. But I'm busy, you see.
What's that? It's a bargain this month if I buy it?
Well now—let me see—do you mind if I try it?
This product you're selling might be a sensation;
Why yes, you can give me a short demonstration.
A bonus for buying it now? Oh indeed!
A nice hostess gift? Why it's just what I need!
Come in, and I'll write the amount that you tell me—
Well, how in the world did you manage to sell me?
