Grandma's patch stole a hen party chicken
Scratch see how your garden grows
Get a thread and amend us both please
This I know
Grandma's girl is coming down to steal violets from
Your crown and glue them to her wrist
You have to spit to see the shine
Grandma's girl is coming down to steal violets from
Your crown and glue them to her wrist
Hey Jack Cath-o-lick black
Stab 'em in the back-jack
You're so serious
You have to spit to see the shine
You're a writer - you better write quick
'Cause your paper's on fire
You have to spit to see the shine
Take a lathe and scrape all the glitter off
My blue glitter angel
