Soap Sally

Don’t go near the smoke house, For Soap Sally lives in there, She will sneak up from behind you, And grab you without a care. Then tie you up, String you from the rafters, Then slowly stir her lye, Waiting for just the right time, She loves to hear you cry. Hotter and hotter her soap does get, Boiling to just the right point, To make the best soap yet, Head first she will anoint. Then stir you up and boil your innards, Don’t think this is a joke, Search around to find your gizzards, Your spirit she wants to evoke. Bring back your spirit, Cause now you are gone, She just, will not quit, Your life has been foregone. So when you are walking near the smoke house, Be leery of what goes on, Tip toe around, Be quiet as a mouse, Maybe, you’ll make it back home.
