lyrics

Saturnine boys sitting on a log
One picked his nose and fell to the hogs
Saturate boys boiling in a well
One sinks beneath to investigate hell
Seven little dipshits snacking on their dipsticks
One licked his lips and tripped in poison stitches [still dead]
Six little hicks kicking at the sticks, one hit a root and his foot
Stuck in the soot
And the whole thing came off with his boot

Five still alive fell in a hive
Four hit the floor but the other one died
Three in the tree, not allergic to bees
But the other boy fell and shattered his knees
Two feeling blue, started up a stew
Its parsnips and onions and carrots and Lou
One starts to cry, he says his goodbyes,
He walks off a cliff while the last one wonders why

A saturnine child, eyes looking wild
Chokes down the stew and forces a smile
He cleans off his plate, his eyes filled with hate
He runs home to mum all covered in crumbs
He tells her the truth, he cannot be soothed
She's angry and stupid, she curses her cupid
Her husband's a drunk, her child's a fool

Why didn't you just drown in the pool?
