He did not care
Well it was not long

We are from troubles bailable

We must honesty make...

and if by accident, they occasionally 
come near to any kind of truth
they tend to get hives, 
or shake uncontrollably.

with different girls that you...

There was a man with many hats,
that lived in a house with his cats.
When he went outside,
the cats stayed inside.
Hat choosing was driving him bats.

One cat said, “he will be gone for the day.”

A hat for each...
