She’ll get Biden
She’ll get by
As in Joe Biden
The closer the knit, the tighter the fit and the tears stay away
The closer the knit, the tighter the fit and the chills stay away
The closer the knit, the tighter the fit until we stray away
The closer the knit, the tighter the fit and the chills stay away
It's a good thing you don't wear mustache.
It's a good thing you don't have the bus fares.
Ordering the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through.
Watering the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through.
You got to walk into town to find a job. (What's a knob?)
You got to walk into town to find a job. (What's it now?)
but the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the Jews stay away.
but the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away.
Daddy's gonna buy you a Dream Maclinto
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream McClean suit
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream McLintock.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to.
Daddy's gonna buy you a drink to cling to.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to.
