Talula

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.

Congratulate you

Said you had a double tongue

Balancing cake and bread

Say goodbye to a glitter girl

Talula, Talula

You don't want to lose her

She must be worth losing

If it is worth something

Talula, Talula

She's brand new now to you

Wrapped in your papoose

Your little Fig Newton

Say goodbye now, my baby, gotta go

Say goodbye, my baby, to the Old World

Ran into the Henchman

That severed Anne Boleyn

He did it right quickly, a merciful man

She said: "One plus one is two."

But Henry said that it was three

So it was, here I am

Talula, Talula

You don't want to lose her

She must be worth losing

If it is worth something

Talula, Talula

She's brand new now to you

Wrapped in your papoose

Your little Fig Newton

And Jamaica, do you know

Do you know what I have done?

Mary M weaving on

Said: "What you want is in the blood Senators."

Said: "What you want is in the blood Senators."

Yes

I got big bird on the fishing line

With a bit of a shout, a bit of shout

A bit of an angry snout

He's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch

And I know about his only Bride

And how the Russians die on the ice

I got my rape hat on

Honey, but I always could accessorise

And I never cared too much for the money

But I know right now, honey

That it's in God's hands, oh

But I don't know who the Father is

Talula, Talula

You don't want to lose her

She must be worth losing

If it is worth something

Talula, Talula

She's brand new now to you

Wrapped in your papoose

Your little Fig Newton

Your little Fig Newton

Your little Fig Newton
