Mr. Plum

歌詞

The curious person is Mr Plum Never Plum(?) Though he had a one foot leg A one foot trunk & a head going one foot high He juggled daggers without buzz & sent them flashing through the sky Always a child & never a man Poor Mr Plum The dwarf He courted Big Bella the bareback rider & tried her He juggled she rode ... Soon were the appearance of an angelic son Who caught their days & stole their nights They called him Gabriel ... Always a child & never a man Glad Mr. Plum The dwarf Sweet Gabriel brought them joy for seven years Blast all fears Then suddenly to the dwarf’s dismay This brillant boy grew taller day by day Soon the son outgrew his heir And joy to jealousy gave away Always a child & never a man Sad Mr. Plum The dwarf Poor Mr Plum grew sick & cold with envy With envy Then one night the moon in his head & moaning in secret He wished his son dead A roar of rath He flashed his knife & Severed Gabriel’s head Always a child & never a man mad Mr. Plum The dwarf As favour to the ___ of the condemned Like a friend The hangman ... But the mad dwarf shouting Shattered the .... No I want to die like a man And the hangman he... No longer a child at last a man ... Mr Plum The dwarf (x 9)
