Mary Go 'Round

from Hellbender by Chris Shepard

lyrics

I like a ‘mato
I like a ‘tato
I eat a ‘nana
I read a Plato

You wanna orda
I can no forda
Well is u hungry?
Yeah, sorta
I hear the swordfish is good

Mary go round me
Got a week to go before I weaken…x 2
You gotta hunger more better
Chip in a meal and we’ll talk

I like a pony
I like a donkey
I like a monkey
No like a swan

You gotta pet one
If you get one
And the swan do no play

Mary go round me
Got a week to go before I weaken…x2
You gotta love on more better
You better horseshoe your back

I’ve got a manacle in my hand
I’m getting by on what I can stand
To pull my dinner off my own land
But a bird presses flowers like no tin can

Mary go round me
Got a week to go before I weaken…x2
Mary go round me
Goin' around the world before I meet you…x2
Mary go round me
Got a week to go before I weaken…x2

And when I weaken, no batter
And when I weaken, no swing.
