The ^Esweet pretty things are in ^Abed now of ^Ecourse The ^Ecity fathers they're ^Atrying to en^Edorse The ^Ereincarnation of ^APaul Revere's ^Ehorse But the ^Etown has no ^Aneed to be ^Enervous The ^Eghost of Belle Starr she ^Ahands down her ^Ewits To ^EJezebel the nun she ^Aviolently ^Eknits A ^Ebald wig for Jack the ^ARipper who ^Esits At the ^Ehead of the ^Achamber of ^Ecommerce

The hy^Esterical bride in the ^Apenny ar^Ecade ^EScreaming she moans, "I've ^Ajust been ^Emade" Then ^Esends out for the doctor who ^Apulls down the ^Eshade And says, "My ad^Evice is to ^Anot let the ^Eboys in" Now the ^Emedicine man comes and he ^Ashuffles in^Eside He ^Ewalks with a swagger and he ^Asays to the ^Ebride "^EStop all this weeping, ^Aswallow your ^Epride You will ^Enot die, ^Ait's not ^Epoison"

^AMama's in the factory, she ain't ^Egot no shoes ^ADaddy's in the alley, he's ^Elookin' for food ^AI am in the kitchen with the tombstone ^Eblues

Well, ^EJohn the Baptist after ^Atorturing a ^Ethief Looks ^Eup at his hero, the ^ACommander-in-^EChief Saying, "^ETell me great hero, but ^Aplease make it ^Ebrief Is there a ^Ehole for ^Ame to get ^Esick in?" The ^ECommander-in-Chief answers ^Ahim while chasing a ^Efly Saying, "^EDeath to all those who would ^Awhimper and ^Ecry" And ^Edropping a barbell he ^Apoints to the ^Esky Saying, "The ^Esun's not ^Ayellow, it's ^Echicken"

^AMama's in the factory, she ain't ^Egot no shoes ^ADaddy's in the alley, he's ^Elookin' for food ^AI am in the kitchen with the tombstone ^Eblues

The ^Eking of the Philistines his ^Asoldiers to ^Esave Puts ^Ejawbones on their tombstones and ^Aflatters their ^Egraves Puts the ^Epied pipers in prison and ^Afattens the ^Eslaves Then ^Esends them ^Aout to the ^Ejungle Gypsy ^EDavey with a blowtorch he ^Aburns out their ^Ecamps With his ^Efaithful slave Pedro be^Ahind him he ^Etramps With a ^Efantastic col^Alection of ^Estamps To ^Ewin friends and ^Ainfluence his ^Euncle

^AMama's in the factory, she ain't ^Egot no shoes ^ADaddy's in the alley, he's ^Elookin' for food ^AI am in troube with the tombstone ^Eblues

The ^Egeometry of innocent ^Aflesh on the ^Ebone ^ECauses Galileo's ^Amath book to get ^Ethrown At ^EDelilah who's sitting ^Aworthlessly a^Elone But the ^Etears on her ^Acheeks are from ^Elaughter Now, I ^Ewish I could give Brother ^ABill his great ^Ethrill I would ^Eset him in chains at the ^Atop of the ^Ehill Then ^Esend out for some pillars and ^ACecil B. De^EMille He could ^Edie happi^Aly ever ^Eafter

^AMama's in the factory, she ain't ^Egot no shoes ^ADaddy's in the alley, he's ^Elookin' for food ^AI am in the kitchen with the tombstone ^Eblues
