Contrary Mary - David Massengill
She drunker than me
And shaking my tree
I fell and she yawned
I let go of my kite
It was love at blind sight
She said, "What took you so long'?"
Her Sphinx runneth over, the riddle
She asks with a smile,
"Forgive me, I'm wicked, I'm warm,
I'm free for a while..."
There caught in her snare
And slicing a pear
She said, "Do you dare?"
She lifted her dress
And as I said yes
Up popped a soothsayer
He said, "Beware, beware or you'll end like that man
Who played the bassoon
He succumbed to her charms, with his last breath
He muttered, 'Bazoom..."
She said, "Don't listen to him
I knew him when
He looked just like you"
And I, I swallowed her lie
I said not to cry
She said, "I never have to"
There was nothing to stop us except for
The ghost of her spouse
She took off her clothes, I pretended
To be Doctor Faust
Somehow raising my plow
She said, "Not now
Can't we just be friends?"
Thell shedding her skin
I met her twin
She said, "Don't come again
But leave your wheelbarrow just in case
A piece of the sky
Falls in my lap, I want something
To remember you by..."
Soon left her room
And licking my wounds
I got drunk at the bar
Alld when it got dark
I drew stars for her heart
But they were too far
Alld when awoke, on my pillow
Was her billet doux
"Je ne suis plus pas contraire de toi
Je t'aime, que pense-tu..."
