O, The Things You Will See

  
     O, the things you will see
        If you come home with me
 
     The doorbell don’t ring 
        the cat is puking

     Every carpet is worn
        the curtains all torn

     In the fridge there’s an odor
        beside which there’s no motor

     The toilet’s a tad moldy
        It’s no goody, just an oldie

     Please don’t choke on the dust 
        Pray there’s no wind gust

    And wait ‘til you see what’s on the next floor
       What? You’re leaving? Don’t wanna see any more?
