This is completely made up
On the long, skinny line
Of paperclips
She keeps count
989, 990,991
And on and on she goes
With her eyes focused on the line
She adds the last one
999
She stares at the line of paperclips
And a tear rolls down her cheek
And she shakes her head
She adds one more paperclip
1000
And another tear trickles down her cheek
1001
She quickly dries her tears
So that she wouldn't have to add another
She adds one paperclip to the line
Every time a tear rolls down her cheek
And she doesn't think the line will ever end

Paperclip Girl
She hangs one moreOn the long, skinny line
Of paperclips
She keeps count
989, 990,991
And on and on she goes
With her eyes focused on the line
She adds the last one
999
She stares at the line of paperclips
And a tear rolls down her cheek
And she shakes her head
She adds one more paperclip
1000
And another tear trickles down her cheek
1001
She quickly dries her tears
So that she wouldn't have to add another
She adds one paperclip to the line
Every time a tear rolls down her cheek
And she doesn't think the line will ever end
