Hickorey, dickorey

The mice and some other stuff

Life ain’t a lazy afternoon

But you get there soon

And skinny marinky dinky dink

Skinny do!

The locksmith has caught arthritis

Now what should he do?

Bake a pie with the Mrs.

And wait around to die

For years a love shared.

What’s new pussy cat

That youth missing a long time now

He cracked open the paper

She flipped on the tv to her favorite show

His hands failed his profession

Their love still remains

The mice found a slower Tom

Their love still remains

The clock struck noon

In the evening and underneath the moon

Hickorey, dickorey and all that stuff
