Thank you for the flowers
|
I threw them on the fire
|
And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed
|
GOD they were ugly children
|
So you're the little bastard of that brother of mine
|
Trying to trick a poor old woman
|
'Til I almost had a weakness
|
Last week Cousin Florence
|
Bit your Uncle Joe
|
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
|
(She) said that he looked like the devil
|
Then she said... "pass the vinegar," I'm beginning to think
|
(That) I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it
|
Though I almost had a weakness
|
|
It pains me to mention
|
These delicate concerns
|
While I have to tolerate you family jewels
|
I really mustn't grumble
|
('Cause) when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and down
|
And you little swines will get nothing
|
Though I almost had a weakness
|
