Thrice Because Twice Was Nice (The Blues)

I’s got six kids
Six mongrel dogs 
Living in one bed broken down shack
From six whisky drinkin’ hogs
And a v8, v8 Cadillac parked out back

Yes I have six children 
Nine months apart
Gots to buy six dozen nappies
From the second had counter at Wallmart

Once for experience
And I did it twice
Because it was nice

I saw my new woman 
Walking down the road
She was walkin funny 
The way she strolled
I thought it was through all my lovin’
But she had a bun in the oven

Once for experience
And I did it thrice
Because twice was nice

Now I have seven kids
Seven dog gone mongrels
Living in one bed broken down shack
From seven whisky drinkin’ hogs
And a v8, Cadillac with a box caravan parked out back

Nicely written Blues. I love the Blues, just gets down in my bones and I can feel the rhythm of it clear to my soul!
