Mrs. Sweet-enough

Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
I got your cherry pie
And though your skin is far too tough
I find your heart a lie

And the lions understand their silence, do they?
And the giraffes hold tight to shame, do they?
And the monkey is a fraud we must forget, should I?
And the turtle is the World, upon it a girl
Who I should ask to marry, should I?

Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
I’m sour and you’re sweet
But the goings on are gettin’ rough
Though I try to be discreet

And the mob belays their sympathy, do they?
And the holy searchers bleed for Him, do they?
And the tyrant laughs at ignorance, does he?
And the Cannibal feeds the Inner Cannibal
That needlessly represents me!

Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
I hope you don’t forget
That I have never ever touched
Your cradle in the bed

Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
There’s someone for you to meet 
We share between us stranger stuff
Than I want to suit my needs

Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
Hey there Mrs. Sweet-enough
