I got a story
|
A sad sad story
|
About a girl
|
Who met a boy
|
About her mother
|
Whose vision saw her
|
Daughter to marry
|
Another boy
|
(Nooo nooo nooo...)
|
They made a plan
|
To get away
|
To run away
|
And though it be hard
|
To make that day
|
Freely to live
|
Without the mother
|
They'd send a postcard
|
(Nooo nooo nooo...)
|
Out on the interstate
|
That's where they made their mistake
|
That's where they met their fate
|
Out on the interstate
|
They met a monster
|
The monster of the interstate
|
Who will not hesitate
|
Who eats teenagers
|
Like a shark eats little fishes
|
Who eats bad kids disobeying parents wishes
|
An interloper against the elopers
|
A troll at the pay toll
|
They stopped at the toll booth
|
And reached for a quarter
|
The monster filled the whole booth
|
He gave them no quarter
|
"Don't eat me"
|
Chirped the girl
|
Clutching to her purse
|
"Don't eat me"
|
Croaked the boy
|
"Or eat her first
|
I'll turn right around
|
And take her back to her mother's
|
We repent of being out of wedlock lovers"
|
"You should have thought of that before"
|
And a scaly horny hand
|
Ripped the car lock door
|
And the boy
|
Tried to drive
|
But oh boy
|
He was eaten alive
|
And the girl
|
Tried to scream
|
But she was swirled
|
In the giant's vanilla ice cream
|
And the boy was yummy
|
And the girl was yummy
|
As they slid down the throat
|
To the monster's yellow tummy
|
He said:
|
"Hmm hmm good
|
Didn't do like they should
|
Hmm hmm good
|
Didn't do like they should"
|
The mother sold the
|
Rights to the story
|
It was so scary
|
This gory story
|
They made a movie
|
A horror movie
|
The mother made a million
|
And the producers made a billion
|
"And that other sweet boy
|
That my daughter has shunned
|
Now I'm his wife and he's my husband"
|
The moral of this story
|
Is clear for all to see
|
And if clearly all can see
|
Then it isn't clear to me
|
