The Deadfly Ensemble - Revenge On The Nursemaid şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: The Deadfly Ensemble

albüm: A Seed Catalog For Extinct Annuals


My nursemaid once gave me a kiss and a farthing.
Two pence would have made sense; this was alarming.
I was a good boy! I never got sick!
So this slice of a penny induced a coin trick.
I traded my farthing for an old metal soldier
Which I sold to my brother, a collector, much older.
He gave me a penny which then begat three
When I found for the soldier some staunch company.
My threepenny bit soon turned to a tanner
When I resold some fruit; some plums and bananas.
A half-shilling's worth of shoe polish came next,
And two bob from the bank men left my pockets perplexed.
With florin in hand I set up a stand
And sold Penny Dreadfuls at second hand.
Inside of a week I'd made half a crown,
And my story appraisals had earned some renown.
For one sovereign, one guinea, I sold off my stock
And found my revenge when the nursemaid was shopping;
She cried at the till, "All I need is two pence!"
Said I, "All I've got is ten pound, four and six."
