Lucy and the Chocolate
Listen– it’s easy, she can handle it
Moving along quite splendidly
But it gets faster, bit by bit
And though they ought to quit
This redhead does not so gingerly
Listen— it’s easy, she can handle it
This comedy, a sweet gift
Like chocolate, stuffed greedily—
But it gets faster, bit by bit
Don’t leave a single chocolate tidbit—
Make us laugh quite heartily
Listen— it’s easy, she can handle it
Hairbrained scheme of side-splitting misfit
May start out quite idealistically –
But it gets faster, bit by bit
An amusing, zany culprit
Remembered most affectionately
Listen– it’s easy, she can handle it
But it gets faster, bit by bit
