Shut up yer little ******* don't you cry,
Get to your cupboard and don't make a sound
Or you will get another black eye,
When my latest boyfriend comes around.

We'll tell the do gooders you had a fall
And it happened oh so fast
That we could do nothing to help at all
Just like the first and the last

Time you got a black eye or burst lip
And all the other times in between,
We always tell them you had a trip,
That no other witness has seen.

Oh I wish that whatisname was back
He's promised me such a good time
I wish he'd hurry up 'cos I like the crack,
That he brings from his partners in crime.

Oh here he comes my favourite man
Who provides for my desperate need,
He takes all my money so I can
My habit, but never you feed.

But this time he brings Charlie along,
And Charlie makes me forget all my cares
And when I wake up after Charlie has gone,
That's when I find you've fallen downstairs,

But this time it is much worse than before
This time you do not respond at all
To any of the smacking, shaking and more,
This was a fatal fall.

So now we have to sit down and fabricate
Our story about what has transpired,
Exact copies we must be able to state
Word for word as to how you expired.
