Here's what I have so far. Can anyone fill in my weak spots?


CHORUS
Silly old fool, look at him there,
Snoring away with his legs on the chair, oh,
Anybody want him? What am I bid?
I won him in a raffle and I can’t get rid.

He’s no great looker, I have to admit,
I’d hide him in a cupboard but I know he wouldn’t fit.
[There?] He stings like a butterfly and bumbles like a bee;
Someone has to love him, [love ???] but why choose me?
CHORUS

When I was a young lass, [trim and neat???]
Along came a prince, and he swept me off my feet;
Then he took me to his castle, had his wicked way,
He’s been sitting [in my ???] ever since that day.
CHORUS

He’s got most of his teeth, and most of his hair;
With very low mileage but an awful lot of wear;
He’s got a funny little habit, I think you ought to know,
But I’d better not tell you ‘cause it really doesn’t show.
CHORUS

He’s a snake, he’s a rat, but he’s cuddly like a Teddy;
Though he eats like a horse, he’s a tiger in the bed,
He is a silly old fool, but what can I do?
I won him, so I’ll keep him; I’m an old fool, too.
CHORUS
