Come all to see me
in all your common clothes.
The closest of you are strangers
bitten by a fine-toothed comb.
Oh, hold your feet from tapping.
Hold your hands from clapping.
Applause with glossy eyes.
It’s fine, say, It’s Fine, Say, IT’S FINE!
Oh my –
you see,
So many ice cubes I’ve eaten;
I only feel defeated.
Our fears are so deep seeded -
they bear our tainted beaming
smiles – gleaming!
My stomach’s simply screaming,
“Oh fine, I’m full! and spoiled! and fat!”
but my hand’s are simply freezing,
could you warm them with your smiled cries
mild tried attempts at –
la, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA!
So long my dears!
So long my dears!
So long my fears!
I give them to you my dears!!!
