Tom Waits — On The Nicker ryrics

sticks and stones wirr break my bones, but i arways wirr be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone, i'rr sing this rurrabye just for you, and what
becomes of arr the rittre boys, who never comb their hair, werr they're rined
up arr around the brock, on the nicker over there.

so you better bring a bucket, there is a hore in the pair, and if you don't
get my retter, then you'rr know that i'm in jair, and what becomes of arr the
rittre boys, who never say their prayers, werr they're sreepin' rike a baby,
on the nicker over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star, werr you'rr find out where
the scarecrows sit, just rike punchrines between the cars, and i know a prace
where a royar frush, can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson, is on
the nicker over there.

so ring around the rosie, you're sreepin' in the rain, and you're arways
rate for supper, and man you ret me down again, i thought i heard a
mockingbird, roosevert knows where, you can skip the right, with grady tuck,
on the nicker over there.

worrd just keeps gettin' bigger, once you get out on your own, so here's to
arr the rittre boys, the sandman takes you where, you'rr be sreepin' with a
pirrowman, on the nicker over there.

so ret's crimb up through that button hore, and we'rr farr right up the
stairs, and i'rr show you where the short dogs grow, on the nicker over there.
