If they were me and I was you
Would you like a pretzel too?
If they were me and I was you
Would you have liked a present too?
If they were me and I was you
Would you like to play some tunes?
If they were me and I was you
Would you have liked a present too?
Seaman in my dark cupboard in a great big jar
Seeing them in my dark cupboard with my great big cake.
Semen in the dark
Covered with my great big cape.
Seeing them in my dark
Cupboard with my great big cake.
Your daddy's in the ghetto with a wretch and a whore
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Psycho Four
Your daddy's in the ghetto with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
Your daddy's in the gutter with the red shirt in the floor.
Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor.
