All locked up. So don't you go trespassin' there or it's a good whipping for you or any other young man with mischief on his mind! (sung) How would ya like a little muff dear A little jig jig. A little bounce around the bush. Wouldja like to push me parsley? It looks to me dear that you got plenty there to push. Alms! Alms! For a desperate woman!
