Fig Leaf Figment

The slibber slabber man is coming Close the doors and bolt all windows fast The jibber jabber man is bringing Bats and worms in his flibber flabber cask. His beard is wet and cold His teeth is yellow and bold Did you clean your room, did you Make the howdy dowdy bed Did everything mummy ask you too Brushed your teeth wiped the red Crayon from the walls, did you Then no fipper fabber man can bother you Hide behind the fig leaf, hide in the dark Hide behind the silence of your thumbing heart But do not trust that fig leaf, it has a bark And bite and drink from drippy droppy heart Did you do everything, O then Obedience will always your goodness defend.
