The Asking Tree |
| Old lady bent like a question mark |
| With a shopping bag and a skin of bark |
| And around your neck I see a figurine like me |
| Dangling on a leather thong |
| I hang inverted all night long |
| Yeah |
| Tell me where I’m gonna die |
| Was it worth the baby’s cry? |
| That’s a tricky question, son |
| It’s been so long since you was one |
| Honey, please deliver me |
| From all that hangs upon the asking tree |
| Yeah |
| Beneath the tree the baby lay |
| The sky was black and the pram was gray |
| Its chestnut eyes roll round in fright |
| But what hung up there on the right |
| Ah no, no, this ain’t me |
| Hanging on the asking tree |
| I don’t know much but I sure can tell |
| Your porky soul is gonna fry in hell |
| And the grease will spit |
| And the fat will roll like a hamburger |
| That’s all your soul is worth |
| Processed beef clippings |
| Tear the skin right off of me |
| And hang it on the asking tree |
