The Lyrics
His job is selling fruit
During daytime.
A cravat complements his suit. . .
Used for tyin’
Gals’ windpipes. . .dyin’.
So his haberdasher
Keeps rakin’ in pounds.
He can’t keep neck sashes
’cause his cravats on gals’ napes are found.
When he’s not selling fruit,
Then his pastime’s
Lass[o] time.
His pursuit,
Beyond fruit,
Is to mute
And make moot
Girls who’d shout.
But he’s found there…
Haberdashery
Is in a rout:
He’s tie-free!
So he who sells the fruit
Now will do time.
During daytime.
A cravat complements his suit. . .
Used for tyin’
Gals’ windpipes. . .dyin’.
So his haberdasher
Keeps rakin’ in pounds.
He can’t keep neck sashes
’cause his cravats on gals’ napes are found.
When he’s not selling fruit,
Then his pastime’s
Lass[o] time.
His pursuit,
Beyond fruit,
Is to mute
And make moot
Girls who’d shout.
But he’s found there…
Haberdashery
Is in a rout:
He’s tie-free!
So he who sells the fruit
Now will do time.
