Birthday

She lives in this house over there

Has her world outside it

Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers and her mouth

She's five years old

Threads worms on a string

Keeps spiders in her pocket

Collects fly wings in a jar

Scrubs horse flies

And pinches them on a line

Oh

Oh-ee, oh

Oh

Oh

She has one friend, he lives next door

They're listening to the weather

He knows how many freckles she's got

She scratches his beard

She's painting huge books

And glues them together

They saw a big raven

It glided down the sky

She touched it

Oh

Oh-ee, oh

Oh

Oh, ooh, hoo, hoo

Today is her birthday

They're smoking cigars

He's got a chain of flowers

And sews a bird in her knickers

Oh

Oh-ee, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

They're they're smoking cigars

They lie in the bathtub

A chain of flowers
