Lyrics

There are tins, there was pork

There are legs, there are sharks

There was John, there are cliffs

There was mother, there's a poker

There was you

Then there was you

There are scenes, there are blues

There are boots, there are shoes

There are Turks, there are fools

They're in lockers, they're in schools

There is you

Then there was you

I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes

Burn my uncle, burn his books

Burn his shoes, cook the leather

Put it on me, does it fit me or you?

It looks tight on you

Burn my fingers, burn my toes

Burn my uncle, burn his books

Burn his shoes, cook the leather

Put it on me, does it fit me or you?

It looks tight on you

There are tins, there was pork

There are legs, there are sharks

There was John, there are cliffs

There was mother, there's a poker

There was you

Then there was you

There are scenes, there are blues

There are boots, there are shoes

There are Turks, there are fools

They're in lockers, they're in schools

There was you

Then there was you

I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes

Burn my uncle, burn his books

Burn his shoes, cook the leather

Put it on me, does it fit me or you?

It looks tight on you

There are tins, there was pork

There are legs, there are sharks

There was John, there are cliffs

There was mother, there's a poker

There was you

Then there was you

There are scenes, there are blues

There are boots, there are shoes

There are Turks, there are fools

They're in lockers, they're in schools

There was you
