Verse 1
She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrapples in the earth with her fingers and her mouth
Shes five years old
Thread worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pocket
Collects fly wings in a jar
Scrubs horse-flies and pinches them on a line
Refrain
ah ah ah ah a
ah ah ah ahiihia
ah ah ahaha
ah ah ahyeah
Verse 2
She has one friend, he lives next door.
Theyre listening to the weather
He knows how many freckles shes got
She scratches his beard
Shes painting huge books
And glues them together
They saw a big raven
It glided down the sky
She touched it
Refrain
ah ah ah ah a
ah ah ah ahiihia
ah ah ahaha
ah ah ahyeah
Verse 3
Today is her birthday
Theyre smoking cigars
Hes got a chain of flowers
And sows a bird in her knickers
Refrain
ah ah ah ah a
ah ah ah hiihia
ah ah ahaha
ah ah ahyeah
Theyre smoking cigars, they lie in the bathtub
A chain of .. flowers
dam, dam, dam, dam dada damdamdam etc..
