Beauty is only skin deep;
With this,
I cannot disagree
My cat was so pretty,
But then, I ripped off her skin.
Beggars have no choice;
He begged for me to stay,
Then, chose someone else.
He was a beggar, he chose. What’s left to say?
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush; I found a bird, the other day.
Picked him up,
In my hand, he shall stay.
But oh, I must have held too tight.
For in my hand, dead, he lay
There’s two in the bush, still alive
Blood is thicker than water;
Have I blood?
No.
You cut me deep,
And my heart shot you ice.
The customer is always right;
At my lemonade stand,
He put one dollar in my hand.
I gave him back fifty cents,
He asked for fifty more … idiot
