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.
