I Almost Had a Weakness |
| Thank you for the flowers |
| I threw them on the fire |
| And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed |
| God they were ugly children |
| So you’re that little bastard of that brother of mine |
| Trying to trick a poor old woman |
| Till I almost had a weakness |
| Last week Cousin Florence |
| Bit your Uncle Joe |
| Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork |
| Said that he looked like the devil |
| Then she said, «Pass the vinegar,» I’m beginning to think |
| That I’m the only one who hasn’t taken to the drinking of it |
| Though I almost had a weakness |
| It pains me to mention |
| These delicate concerns |
| While I have to tolerate you family jewels |
| I really mustn’t grumble |
| Cause when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and down |
| And you little swines will get nothing |
| Though I almost had a weakness |
