PRETTY GIRL

LIKES TO TANGO

WITH THE ELEPHANT MAN

AND SLURP PINK OYSTERS            

AND SAVE THEIR SHELLS

TO WHERE AROUND HER NECK            

ON HER WEDDING DAY

AND SHE WILL

SHE WILL 

MARRY A PORPOISE

AND HE WILL

HE WILL

TEACH HER TO SWIM 

AND CERTAINLY IN NO TIME

SHE WILL RULE THE SEA

PRETTY HAS A GIFT

HAS A TOOL

HAS A HURT

AND SHE CAN CARVE A HURT

LIKE A JACK-O-LANTERN 

DISGUISED AS A GREAT SHARK 

ON HER HONEY MOON NIGHT

SHE DID

SHE DID

SWALLOW THE WEAK FISH

AND SHE DID

SHE DID

SWALLOW HER HUSBAND             BECAUSE CERTAINLY

HE WASN'T BIG ENOUGH

TO RULE THE SEA

I COULDN'T BE HER FAVORITE PET

I COULDN'T WASH HER FEET

WITH MY HAIR

I COULDN'T GIVE HER

WHAT SHE NEEDS

TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

CHICKEN OF THE SEA

PRETTY HAS A HURT

HAS A STOMACH ACHE 

A BELLY FULL OF WEAKNESS

AND A BROKEN TAIL

SO SHE DROWNS

SHE CHOKES

ON THE SALT OF THEIR TEARS             BECAUSE SHE KNOWS

YES SHE KNOWS

THAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN HERS  AND CERTAINLY A CHICKEN

WASN'T MEANT TO RULE THE SEA
