The Tiger Lillies - Besotted Mother lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Besotted Mother lyrics]
Her husband left Goola Flibbage before
The baby was weaned
To support herself and Florabelle as
A charwoman she cleaned
She thought there had never been
Such a beautiful child
Her friends they did concur
She wondered how beautiful she would look in
A costume of white bunny fur
As she could afford each of
Them, she bought a tam
Mittens and a little cape
A necklet, booties
And to complete the ensemble a
Muff with a funny shape
The first coolish day of autumn she
Dressed Florabelle in them all
She left her outside a greengrocer when
On him she did call
A pack of wild dogs came round the corner
The butchers their intention
They ripped Florabelle to pieces in a second
The baby was weaned
To support herself and Florabelle as
A charwoman she cleaned
She thought there had never been
Such a beautiful child
Her friends they did concur
She wondered how beautiful she would look in
A costume of white bunny fur
As she could afford each of
Them, she bought a tam
Mittens and a little cape
A necklet, booties
And to complete the ensemble a
Muff with a funny shape
The first coolish day of autumn she
Dressed Florabelle in them all
She left her outside a greengrocer when
On him she did call
A pack of wild dogs came round the corner
The butchers their intention
They ripped Florabelle to pieces in a second
