Animal Instincts

I once had a boyfriend called Matt Whose cheeks were incredibly fat! He had warts on his nose And gargantuan toes; Well they say love’s as blind as a bat! As for Jimmy, I gave him the boot Though to wed me he was resolute. But they say that a lad Will turn into his Dad And his Dad was as bald as a coot!
