The opening scene in the musical The Music Man involves a group of travelling

salesmen lamenting the passing of their livelihoods. They list all the

things they sell for hard cash and it goes something like this:

Cash for the merchandise, cash for the hard goods

Cash for the soft goods, cash for the fancy goods

Cash for the noggins and the piggins and the firkins

Cash for the hogsheads, casks and demijohns

Cash for the crackers and the pickles and the flypaper.
