• First of all, who's your A&R?
  A mountain climber who plays an electric guitar?
  But he don't know the meaning of dope,
  When he's lookin for a suit and tie rap
  That's cleaner than a bar of soap!
  And I'm the dirtiest thing in sight,
  Matter of fact, bring out the girls and let's have a mud fight.

I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's hand, holding the tea-cup, was very very brown, and very very wrinkly with the soap-suds; and all through her gown and her cap, there were HAIRPINS sticking wrong end out; so that Lucie didn't like to sit too near her.
