Eyebrows On Noses

Eyebrows on noses and whiskers on women Large rats and wombats that suckle my kitten Penguins that waddle in hot sulfur springs These are a few of my befuddled things La da, di da da Piglets that paddle in puddles of poodles Parrots that prattle for peanuts and noodles Wild things that fly in the face of my fan These are the things that I chase when I can La da, di da da, li da da, li da da Rabies and robbers and nights in Havana Babies that slobber on bites of banana Fickle young fingers in pickles and kraut These are the things that my life is about When the elephant stomps When the Man-o-war stings When I'm feeling small I simply remember my old mattress springs And then I can't jump At all! La da, di da da, li da da, li da!
