LANK DANK

Oh wife, do bring my bow and let me shoot the carrion crow
To my lank dank kit-ty dank ki-mo ki-mo ki-mo ne-ro
Ho-mi-gin-ny ho-mi-gin-ny
Call for the bil-li-lil-li lank dank kit-ty dank ki-mo

I shot and missed the carrion crow
And hit my old sow in the heart
To my lank dank kitty dank kimo

Oh wife, oh wife, go bring some rum
And let me give the old sow some
With a lank dank kitty dank kimo

Oh bring it in a silver spoon
For this old sow's in a mighty tune
With a lank dank kitty dank kimo
