DI'll Tell You A Story 'Bout A Burglar Man Who Went To Rob A HoAuse

Thinkin' Of The Money That He Would Steal, As Under The Bed He LAay
He Certainly Saw A Sight That Night That Made His Hair Turn GDray

AbDout Nine O'clock An Old Maid Came In, "I'm So Tired" She SaAid
Thinkin' Everything Would Be Alright, She Forgot To Look Under The BDed
She Pulled Out Her Teeth, And Her Big Glass Eye, And Her Hair Came From Off'n Her HAead
That Burglar Man Had Nineteen Fits As He Crawled From Under The BDed

"Young Man If You Don't Marry Me, I'll Blow Off The Top Of Your HDead"

So He Turned To The Old Maid Standin' By, And Said "Woman, For The Lord's Sake ShDoot"
