Glue, Brown Shoe
By Terry Jones


It was wrtten on a wall,
in letters five feet tall,
that a golden shower would come and drown us all.

I heard a dog say "Bark",
so I went and built an Arc,
but tragically drove a nail right through my balls.

I yelled a mighty yell,
from a tree a crow did fell,
it landed by the hammer which had hit.

I moved to get some pegs,
ripped my balls from between my legs,
my sphincter went numb with pain... then shit.

I was covered in the brown,
the crow looked at me with a frown,
he said "Why the fuck ye do thah, ye muppet?"

The hammers handle I did pull,
I drove it right down through his skull,
with the corpse I made a crow shaped puppet.
