lyrics

There's a mighty rumbling at the water trough
And they keep on talking about the crippled queen
She may be crippled but she do go clean

Captain, captain
Don't you kill old Bob
Said he may do better
If he makes new job

Mama cut 'em out
Mama cut 'em out
Mama cut 'em out
Mama cut 'em out

Papa sewed the stitches
