Merriment lyrics

An old woman in a wig And a mule eating a fig Caterpillar on a twig shouldn't flitter Fella hanging from a clock Someone falling from a dock Little ripple showing stock and then we titter Chubby kid upon a trike Opened up the dyke She nearly lost her water Heals a haggard soul Reflex to cajole Bust your ass to soothe his cancer Then the tragedy within Gets the audience to grin So you stop to start again, but then it's ending Shooting one's self in the foot Catch one's self with a fishing hook Elementary textbook comic devices For the common good Take a little nug Who's to say we should or should not giggle Bless the idiot That makes us split a gut Roses for the butt of our merriment An old woman in a wig And a mule eating a fig Caterpillar on a twig shouldn't flitter Fella hanging from a clock Someone falling from a dock Little ripple showing stock and then we titter Chubby kid upon a trike Opened up the dyke She nearly lost her water Heals a haggard soul Reflex to cajole Bust your ass to soothe his cancer Then the tragedy within Gets the audience to grin So you stop to start again, but then it's ending Shooting one's self in the foot Catch one's self with a fishing hook Elementary textbook comic devices For the common good Take a little nug Who's to say we should or should not giggle Bless the idiot That makes us split a gut Roses for the butt of our merriment
