+I would like to say, Mister Bunce,
+I'm a great connoisseur of hot cunts.
+	And in all my lewd life
+	I've met none like your wife,
+So why leave her to me, you big dunce?
+%
+I'd rather have fingers than toes,
+I'd rather have ears than a nose,
+	And a happy erection
+	Brought just to perfection
+Makes me terribly sad when it goes.

+In my sweet little Alice Blue gown
+Was the first time I ever laid down,
+	I was both proud and shy
+	As he opened his fly
+And the moment I saw it I thought I would die.
+
+Oh it hung almost down to the ground,
+As it went in I made not a sound,
+	The more that he shoved it
+	The more that I loved it,
+As he came on my Alice Blue gown.
+%
+In my sweet little night gown of blue,
+On the first night that I slept with you,
+	I was both shy and scared
+	As the bed was prepared,
+And you played peekaboo with my ribbons of blue.

+As we both watched the break of day,
+And in peaceful submission I lay,
+	You said you adored it
+	But dammit, you tore it,
+My sweet little night gown of blue.

+%
+She begged and she pleaded for more.
+I said, "We've already had four,

+That eros spelt backwards is sore."
+%
+She made a thing of soft leather,
+And topped off the end with a feather.
+	When she poked it inside her
+	She took off like a glider,
+And gave up her lover forever.
+%
+She stood there and peeled off her clothes,
+And begged for a bang : goodness knows
+	I am surely impure
+	And I sizzled to scrure,
+But the push had gone out of my hose.
+%
+She was coming round the mountain doin' ninety,
+When the chain on her motorcycle broke,
+	Now she's lying in the grass,
+	With the muffler up her ass,
+And her tits a-playin' Dixie on the spokes.
+%
+She was peeved, and called her beau "Mr."
+Not because, when she came in, he kr.,
+	But she knew, just before
+	She opened the door,
+This same Mr. had kr. sr.

+She wasn't what one could call pretty

+The world is so full of a number of things,
+I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.
+	I'll tell you a story--
+	It won't take me long--
+Of a brother and sister whose tale is my song.
+
+There was an old fellow and what do you think?
+He lived on the cheese that he scraped from his dink.
+	He whacked it, he hacked it,
+	He ate it with glee-
+Was there ever a fellow so happy as he?
+
+This charming old chap had a sister as well :
+She was ugly and gaunt, with a horrible smell.
+	Her cunt was so dirty
+	It stank like a beast,
+And the odor killed flies as they gathered to feast.
+
+What a wonderful family!  What marvellous style!
+I'll bet you and I aren't close by a mile.
+	Their odor and diet
+	Won't soon be forgotten,
+And one day you and I may be equally rotten.

+There are some things we mustn't expose,

+Who insists that you fuck his long nose.

+Whose bottom is always kept bared.

+We sailed on the good ship Venus,

+And the mast an upright penis
+
+The captain of the lugger
+Was known as a filthy bugger
+	Declared unfit

+From one ship to another
+
+The first mate's name was Cooper,
+By god he was a trooper

+	Until he worked
+Himself into a stupor
+
+The cabin boy was chipper,
+A dandy little nipper
+	He shoved cracked glass

+And circumcised the skipper
+
+The captain's wife was Charlotte,
