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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
