Quit doing that, girlie
Them fiber threads
That you keep on plucking apart
Drawing ‘em out till they snap
Like they’re damn corn silk?
They goin’ break if you don’t stop it
Them my damned brain cells
Quit doing that, girlie

Quit doing that, girlie
You keep on strumming
Them damned chords
You know them chords
Them red organ chords?
They goin’ break if you don’t stop it
Them my damned heart strings
Quit doing that, girlie

Quit doing that, girlie
All that laughter you keep on doing?
Ya know, that lilting giggling ya do?
Well it’s like damned syrup
Leaking n’ logging up my ears
They goin’ break if you don’t stop it
Them my damned ears
Quit doing that, girlie

I just might break.
