Giving me the eye?
with locks askew and tangled
sleep dust in my eyes
Sleep dust in my eyes,
insomnia strikes again.
No rest for the tired.
No rest for the tired,
when there are parties to plan,
martinis to mix.
Martinis to mix
turn quickly into pitchers
of cold marshoonies.
of cold marshoonies...
under the alca-fluence
of in-cohol ... hic!
"of in-cohol....hic!",
she said, gathering up the
lemon peels that fell.
Lemon peels that fell
Unheeded to the floor and
Tripped up the woodlice.
Tripped up the woodlice
and other creepy-crawlies-
when left in the filth.
When left in the filth
The purest become defiled.
Let's clean up our house.
Let's clean up our house
and be no more lazy louse
Darling, to the mops!
Darling, to the mops!
Swab down the mucky floor and
Polish the table.
polish the table
lick that damn thing clean I say!
damned stupid children
Damned stupid children
Go out to play instead of
Doing their homework.
doing their homework
what perfect angels they are
I have raised them well
I have raised them well,
Those tricky questions about
The illegal war.
The illegal war - -
Do I dare touch the subject,
or leave it alone?
Or leave it alone
It will be fine on its own
It likes solitude.
It likes solitude...
the lone badger trundles to
the pine needle bed.
The pine needle bed
Softened each step and scented
the air with Christmas.
The air with Christmas
Songs reverberates, and I
Pause to enjoy it
