say to me which the shit is
it is to mice milk
say me which the shit is
which for shit
say me which the shit is
humans find I not at all madly
I bite yourself into the bum
which for an old scrap iron
Say to me where the hammer hangs
where is stupid hiring
say to me where the hammer hangs
I war a cramp
say to me where the hammer hangs
or have I gives away
my tool cupboard is empty
which for a shit, alas!
