Lyrics
Hello Skinny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Skinny was born in a bathtub
And he grew so incredibly
Even the end of an eyedropper
sucked him in
Skinny never knew any questiong
Skinny never looked at the lights
But Skinny sold something
every single night
Skinny sold a soldier to me
Skinny sold a wife
Skinny sold a suction cup
And a knife
Skinny found a Hello Dolly
record in the hall
He sold it to a truck driver
in the fall
