Cā;
I'm wrapped up in a bandage from my head down to my toe.
And where my works have gone to, well I guess I'll never know;
They functioned very nicely if I treated them with care,
But when I felt around just now, the simply were not there!
My cavity, my cavity, there's nothing in my cavity;
They took my guts for garters, which to me seems sheer depravity.
When I hear a fiddle playing with a tiddle-om-pom-pom,
An awful thought lights up my brain just like an atom bomb;
If the strings are cat's intestines, then whoever are they from?
So I've ended up a mummy, when I used to be a Tom!
