Alright, get ready, here we go... Little Boy Blue, come blow up your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow and the cows in the corn

Smokin' the weed... Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yeah, Boy Blue stood on a burning deck, playing a game of cricket,
The ball rolled up his trouser leg, and he stumped his middle wicket Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, right on, here we go... Ikki takka tikki takka dikki takka tai ya, whop ai ya, pussy catcha fire
Yeah, a Little Boy Blue.
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yeah. Black pussy, white pussy, pink pussy, blue,
The name of the game is a Little Boy Blue, bye...
