The Troll

Way down deep in the depths of hell There once lived an evil old woman troll She was haggard, very old and twisted Her face had warts and was also whiskered The troll lived alone in an underground cave She wanted someone with her to be her slave She wasn’t particular and anyone would do Troll looked around coz she wasn’t bothered who One day the troll took a walk outside An elfin came along and took her as his bride They lived ever after in the troll’s dark cave Troll got what she wanted her very own slave It wasn’t very long before the troll got broody She was getting angry and was always moody Elfin decided that she should have a little troll So Troll had a baby and she treats it like a doll Baby troll grew up to look just like her mummy Troll didn’t like having baby troll in her tummy The baby troll grew up to be an Elfin Troll girl She had met a partner had his heart in a whirl So they played at happy families and lived ever after The underground cave was filled with love and laughter No more nasty evil trolls lived there anymore There was love and humour and little children galore
