The Tiger Lillies
Bully Boys
Well as he’d often done before
My neighbour from next door
One fine summer’s day went out
To the shops to walk about
And as he found it hot poor fella
He took with him his green umbrella
When Edward noisy little wag
He came out and waved his flag
And William came in jacket trim
And brought his wooden hoop with him
And Arthur brought his toys
And joined the other bully boys

Well those silly bully boys
They lost all their toys

Well tall Agrippa lives close by
So tall he almost touched the sky
He was giant through and through
He was giant through and through

He called out in an angry tone
To leave my neighbour alone
But they didn’t mind a bit
What tall Agrippa said of it
Well those silly bully boys
They lost more than their toys

Well tall Agrippa foamed with rage
Just look at him on this very page
He seizes Arthur seizes Ned
He smashes all their tiny heads
Then they don’t scream and they don’t call
They are corpses one and all
Three little corpses one two three
They’re all as dead as can be

Well those silly bully boys
They lost more than their toys
Well those silly bully boys
Because Agrippa they annoyed
Well those silly bully boys
They lost more than their toys
Silly bully boys
Because Agrippa they annoyed
