Smolkin's songs
1) Sing a song of graveyards, an acre full of germs. / Four and twenty landlords, dinner for the worms. / When the box was opened, the birds began to sing. / Isn't that a dainty dish to set before a thing?
2) Three witches have heads, but they'll sever them all. / The head of Helene is the third that must fall. / All the king's horses and all the king's men / Can't put the witches together again.
3) Hickory dickory horse. / My guest is dead, of course. / The clock struck two! / He's turning blue, / With little or no remorse.
4) Hey diddle diddle, the rat and the fiddle. The corpse jumped over his tomb. / The murderer vowed ???? as he strangled the girl in the gloom, gloom, gloom.
5) Old Mother Basket opened her casket to fetch her poor dog a bone. / To take one she tried, but the corpse sadly cried, "Be off, ghoul, and leave me alone."
6) Jack Pratt would eat no fat. His wife would eat no lean. / And so, between the two of them, they licked the coffin clean.
The only copy I could find was that horrid thing on YouTube. *sigh* I HATE that Mysticwhateveritis! Any film buff should detest people taking obscure films and overlapping them with extremely unfunny remarks. If someone did this at a real theater, you'd be making them shut up or reporting them to management. I know that I would! Anyway... The snarky remarks make it very difficult to interpret some of the lyrics. I especially had trouble with the fourth one.
If anyone can correct any of these, I'd really appreciate it because I want to add them to my HubPage, where I'm collecting poems and lyrics from movies, ones that might be tricky to track down generally. I'd love to have accurate Digger Smolkin songs.
