Know Your Onions

Hey there Big Cheese
I think you are the bee’s knees

Not a bluenose or a flat tire,
But, ooh hardboiled & too Oliver Twist to resist

Let us skip the youths' rub & head far removed from the petting pantry

Share a jorum of skee at the local speakeasy
Now we are on the trolley!

Let us slowly ankle to the joint
I’m a copasetic-bearcat
Watch my gams, catch my point?

Oh hepcat I’ll get your handcuff or
This darb Sheba’s bank is closed for someone else

Butt me, you spiffy sheik
Cuz I’m stuck on you bimbo
Unleash

Know your onions & manacle this
Choice bit of calico,
You know you can’t resist

Then and then only will you wield me to your struggle buggy and
We’ll be jake!
The cat's pajamas!!
                Berries!
