My Tattle Tail Heart

 

The beating of my heart, so profound.

Thu Thump, Thu Thump, Thu Thump.

I know you must hear it's malicious sound,

With it's rancid flow from the city dump.

 

The beating of my heart, so sublime.

Doo Dop, Doo Dop, Doo Dop.

As it prattles out its lake of slime,

It will tell all secrets and never stop.

 

The beating of my heart, so clear.

Sha Shooze, Sha Shooze, Sha Shooze.

It's bursting to tell, then laugh and sneer,

As I fill my gullet full of booze.

 

The beating of my heart, so frail.

Woosh, Woosh, Woosh.

So rotten, it's beginning to smell,

But, not near as bad as my tush.

 

The beating of my heart, so doomed.

Booommm, Booommm, Booommm,

Has told all it's secrets, I assume.

A trip to hell is as good as the moon.
