Mother Goose Down On Skid Row

Tom Thumb got caught peeping Now his life is on the run Little Bo Peep lost her sheep On a gambling junket she was on Little Miss Muffet is having to tuff it Out these days in jail Selling ecstasy to undercover police And now can't pay her bail Little Jack Horner took him a corner Of the Mafia drug trade Once you are hooked on the Meth that he cooks There's no way of escape You think that's bad you ain't seen nothing yet That even comes this close Since Mother Goose started hitting the juice And ended up down on skid row Humpty Dumpty's more than broke But not from any fall He couldn't pay his bookie And his legs were first to go Baa Baa Black Sheep Where forced to sell their wool To pay for all the damages While they were in school Jack pushed Jill down the hill When he caught her cheating with Little Boy Blue Now he's paying her doctor bills Which has left Jack blue too You think that's bad you ain't seen nothing yet That even comes this close Since Mother Goose started hitting the juice And ended up down on skid row
