If We Crawl |
| If we crawl at 2 |
| We could crawl at 22 |
| And grovel at |
| The drop of a hat |
| And once they’ve got you down there |
| It’s so hard to re-straighten your back |
| If we crawl at two |
| We could crawl at 102 |
| And the target brainless don’t quite reach |
| Covered so kindly in your opening speech |
| Is a tiny crab of thought, crab of thought |
| On a sideways beach |
| Let lessons not the pupils teach |
| Justice not the lessers breach |
| And maggots not have fingers |
| Wagged at by leech |
| Well, I made sure |
| I wrote this song in braille |
| So you could touch the words |
| The words that sail |
| From my mouth back to the jail |
| You could touch the words that sail |
| From the mouth back to the jail |
| That is posing as tongue |
| Curtsies, bows, 'Thank you, sir’s |
| And the wearing of a business suit |
| Lead to complaints of backache |
| And end with a Nazi salute |
| And once they’ve got you down there |
| It’s so hard to re-straighten your back |
| If we crawl at 2 |
| We could crawl at 222 |
| And the target brainless don’t quite reach |
| Covered so kindly in your opening speech |
| Is a tiny crab of thought, crab of thought |
| On a sideways beach |
| Let lessons not the pupils teach |
| Justice not the lessers breach |
| And maggots not have fingers |
| Wagged at by leech |
| Well, I made sure |
| I wrote this song in braille |
| So you could touch the words |
| The words that sail |
| From my mouth back to the jail |
| You could touch the words that sail |
| From the mouth back to the jail |
| That is posing as tongue |
| If we crawl at 2 |
| We could crawl at 22 |
| If we crawl at 2 |
| We could crawl at 22 |
