My lady of rats

from Humptamatic by Humpty Dumpty

/

lyrics

And when you hide your love
It just juts out from the carpet
It may become a problem
As your granny could stumble on it

What do you want from your love?
What do you want to be free of?

Your words won't say
What they obey
So c'mon
Be quiet in desperation's row
My lady of Darkness

Oh useless act
To smile to rats
As they run out
From your favourite carpet
Or bugs perhaps
Right from your hat
You brown sweet hair
Do you really want to smell so bad
That nobody could wish to get near?

No other way if you can't be clear to yourself
I got some advice for you
One) send a letter to your left leg and offer her
A ticket to your soul
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la LA LA

Oh guess you'd be in love again
see a cockroach without head
but you know it would smile
as you say hello to it
Oh there's a led deep in your head
And I wonder who just set
It in action as all I want is a gentle embrace
With grace

No other way if you can't be kind to yourself
A second advice for you
So put some sweet-smelling yellow flowers in your hair
And beware they are insectless
Ratless
Breathless

(and goodbye)
