And who would steal the candy
From a loving baby's mom
And who would steal the candy
From a laughing baby's mouth
Laughing in the playground-gets no kiss from little boys
Laughing in the playground-gets no kicks from little boys
Rather make it with electric trains
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Rubber baby with electric brain.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Running naked with a lashing braid.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Running naked with electric brains
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
She dives in Hampstead Village
Then expends a pound of drool.
She dines in Hampstead Village
On expense-account gruel.
She’s the Robin Hood of hockey
She’s the Robin Hood of Highgate
Would rather fake it with electric brains.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Would rather make it with a lash and bray.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Would rather make it with a lecherous freak.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Would rather make it with electric brain.
Would rather make it with a letching gray.
Would rather make it with electric rain
Would rather make it with a letching grey
Would rather make it with electric strings.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Would rather make it with electric trains.
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Lives in a hamster village
And expends a pound of gruel
She dines in Hampstead village
On expense-account gruel.
Rubber baby
Crosseyed mary
She does enhance the village
With expense account cruel.
She dines in Hampstead village
On expense-account gruel.
