| 词汇 | go for a song |
| 词源 | go for a song. To be sold or bought cheaply, for almost noth- ing at all. The expression was possibly inspired by the phrase all this for a song, in the sense that the song was a mere tri- fle. More likely, however, the expression refers to the small cost of old ballad sheets, or the small coins thrown to street singers. |
