Lyrics
Butterflies, three blind mice
Eight little maids in a box he met them
He kept them, he carefully puts them
Away for the rainy day, when
Nothing's left
No nothing's left to collect Whistling
And sometimes he'd look in his catalog
And it was like the whole wide
World bundled up and waved, and
He'd saved those waves, and he'd count
Them he'd count them, cos he loved
Counting things 3 french hens, 2
Turtles doves, a monkey in a big palm tree
A bunch of green bananas that
Are never ripe
An orangutan who says I love you
And you can pull a string
And it grins and it, it's
A happy little thing
But it doesn't say much
So it isn't much good company 15
934 plastic facsimilies of the Eiffel
Tower, twenty percent of which were broken
Because they were made in
Taiwan so they weren't built to last at all
And anyway the proportions
Were completely wrong
Because they don't have the Eiffel Tower in
Taiwan all they have is pagodas and he
Had many bagodas too he had
Twenty-eight bagodas
Which he shrunk with water and
Kept them all in a
Big trunk which he dug out from the sea
From a huge wreck of this old
Galleon, and he kept galleons too, many
Many galleons with skeletons and
Lots of treasure
And he collected them he collected
All the treasure in
All the world, and he owned all the banks
