The Thumb Just Came Off My Left Marigold

I was washing some pots and pans

I was washing them with my hands

But my hands were getting slightly wrinkly

And my fingers were a little crinkly

So I walked across the floor

And I looked inside a drawer

And I took out a pair of gloves

And I stuck em on me hands over me cuffs

I was scrubbing away

It was the 27th of may

But I scrubbed too hard if truth be told

Cos the thumb just came off my left marigold

Well the water started seeping in

To the inside of the glove within

And the water weighed me fingers down

And the whole thing made me wear a frown

Well I took off me broken glove

And I showed it to my beloved

And she looked at me in a way

That it would be rude of me to say

I was scrubbing away

It was the 27th of may

But I scrubbed too hard if truth be told

Cos the thumb just came off my left marigold
