Stinky soul
Get a little lost in my own
Hey General
Need a little love in that hole of yours
So one ways now and Saturdays now
And our kittens all wrapped in cement
From cradle to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, Butterfly,
They like you better framed and dried
Daddy, dear
If I can kill one man
Why not two?
Well, nurses smile
When you've got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes
And pompoms and cherry blondes
And the kittens still wrapped in cement
From God's saviours to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, Butterfly,
They like you better framed and dried
Got a pretty pretty garden
Pretty garden, yes
