Little Ball of Yarn
It t'was in th month of May When th lambs would skip and play And th blackbirds were singing like a charm And I met a pretty miss And I said, unto her like this Let me wind up your little ball of yarn
Why, she said to me, kind sir Your a stranger I can see I"m afraid sir, that you will do me harm And I put my arms around her waist While I gently laid her down While th blackbirds were singing like a charm
And, I threw up her underclothes And pulled out my rubber hose While th blackbirds were singing like a charm
And, it was shortly after this When I had to take a piss Came a pain that would cause me great alarm And it was to my decepts When I had a dose of clap While th blackbirds were singing like a charm
