Juxtapaditty!

Get, get!

Get yourself some medicine.

 

Go, go!

Get that tap-a-tap running

 

Run, run!

Getcha fav-a-rite teddy bear

Yer tick-a-tack toy boat

Yer Grand Ma-Ma's portrait

Yer scenty-smelly bath bomb

Yer dinky-danky diary

Gonna have a bath with them!

 

Shut, shut!

Close that bath-a-room door and

 

Chuck, chuck!

The portrait into the tub-a-tub

 

Jump, jump!

the tub and

let loose the bomb and

take the drugs and

rip the mind and

throw the diary inside

and

take the razor blades

you hide

in the boat your mother

gave you as

a child

and

 

Rub, rub!

Metal into flesh and sweet wetness.

Let the bath turn thick and red and

Let the colours in your head

Converge and spit into the void

Because

You're already dead.

 

Yeah!
