"Where's the parade?" I asked a sleepyface
But my lazy
little shadow stayed asleep in bed
Climbed another tree, an altogether different
tree
But he stayed so close beside me,
Purring
like a pussy-y-y-y
I watch the muddy eddies swirl
I swing and swing and watch the water clean
If my wishes were whores
Then beggars would ride
With billy bandy knees I watch
the water clean
And he stayed so close beside me,
Purring like a pussy-y-y-y
Hell's bells, I will not leave you
My, my, I will not leave you behind
"When's the parade?"
I asked a sleepyface
"It's when we're walking side by side my friend"
And he stayed so close beside me,
Purring like a pussy-y-y-y
