Devil's Nine Questions
If you can't answer my questions nine.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
Then you're not God's, you're one of mine.
And you are the weaver's bonny.
What is greener than the grass?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is smoother than crystal glass?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Envy is greener than the grass.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And flattery is smoother than crystal glass.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is louder than the horn?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is sharper than the thorn?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Rumor's louder than the horn.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And hunger's sharper than the thorn.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is brighter than the light?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is darker than the night?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
The truth is brighter than the light.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And falsehood's darker than the night.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is keener than the ax?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is softer than melting wax?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Revenge is keener than the ax.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And love is softer than melting wax.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is rounder than the ring?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
To this, you must, an answer bring.
And you are the weaver's bonny.
The world is rounder than the ring.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And I have answered everything.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
Yes, you have answered my questions nine.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
So you are God's and none of mine.
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
Then you're not God's, you're one of mine.
And you are the weaver's bonny.
What is greener than the grass?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is smoother than crystal glass?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Envy is greener than the grass.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And flattery is smoother than crystal glass.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is louder than the horn?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is sharper than the thorn?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Rumor's louder than the horn.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And hunger's sharper than the thorn.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is brighter than the light?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is darker than the night?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
The truth is brighter than the light.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And falsehood's darker than the night.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is keener than the ax?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And what is softer than melting wax?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Revenge is keener than the ax.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And love is softer than melting wax.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is rounder than the ring?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
To this, you must, an answer bring.
And you are the weaver's bonny.
The world is rounder than the ring.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
And I have answered everything.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
Yes, you have answered my questions nine.
Sing ninety-nine and ninety.
So you are God's and none of mine.
And you are the weaver's bonny.
