Oh Give Me a Choice
(Tune: Home on the Range)

Oh give me a choice,

Oh, a difficult choice, And I'll think about what I could use,

I'll have to decide,

With my eyes open wide

What I'll give up and what I will choose.

Opportunity Cost!

It's the thing you give up when you choose.

It's the price that is paid

When a choice must be made.

It's the thing that I surely will lose.
