It did flitter and flutter by

When it decided to land
It landed on my left hand

The Tell-Tale Bells
The bells! The bells!
My looney, tuney pals!
The bells! The bells!
They curse and vex and howl!
The bells! The bells!
I must escape them somehow!

The clanging, banging swells!
The bells! The bells!
The peeling, reeling knells!

What's up?
What's going on?

Who left me a hot breakfast,
Then disappeard?
How the hell did I
Overnight grow a green beard?

And that new Lamborgini
In my driveway
