Thread Name: Lyr ADD I'm a Villain
Subject: RE: Lyr ADD I'm a Villain
@ Joanne S and the 2021 post. THANK YOU My grandma turns 88 today and I have been trying to track down the original version of songs she'd sing me for a week now and so many versions I've found were too far off but what you posted is almost EXACTLY what she'd sing! Being some neighborhood version from Brooklyn makes so much sense why they'd be so close!
I'm a Villain, a dirty rotten Villain - I don't actually remember what she sang for this line, hope I remember soon! - I take delight in stirring up a fight I hit babies on the head until they're dead
I have gotten a rep for being rotten I put poison in my uncle's shredded wheat, shredded wheat I eat (click click) Raw meat (click click)
I fell out a window a second story window I caught my eyelash on a sill, on a sill Go get the axe there's a fly on baby's moustache and a man's best friend is his mother! You're a liar, just another mooch on whiskey (HICCUP)
Last line getting faster and blending together to sound drunk before ending in the hiccup
Thank you so much for helping me learn some more about where it may have come from!
