I was thinking
He rigged up his room
With a microphone boom
Great how it goes somewhere completely different isn't it?

A maiden who verged on hysteria
Had contracted a case of diphtheria
With a temperature soaring
Perspiration was pouring

A maiden who verged on hysteria
Had contracted a case of diphtheria
With a temperature soaring
Perspiration was pouring
And the doc said, “I’m going in fear o’ yer.”

For tea he had beans in a tart
The one that’s on offer at Wal-mart

For tea he had beans in a tart

Where cheaper by the dozen
But according to my cousin
