Shick a lack a shack a lack a
Shick a lack a shoe.
Shick a lack a shack a lack a
Shick a bob a doo.
Shit on the banister and slide down the stairs,
Go ye haunting in the briney-o.

(Mr. Morris: “Don’t never tell anybody I done it.)
Dr. Wolf: “I won’t, I won’t.”)

Well, I fucked ‘em a-standing, I fucked ‘em a-lying,
Fucked ‘em a-sick, and I fucked ‘em a-dying.
If they’d a-had wings, I’d a fucked ‘em a-flying.
My old homykin a briney-o.
