Ivor Cutler - Singing While Dead

There's a Hole in My Head

I've a hole in my head, dentist
Please stop it up with teeth
Put one set on the top, dentist
And another set underneath

Then when breakfast comes
I'll know
I can eat two breakfasts
At one go

I've a boot on my foot, doctor
Please take it off right away
If you cant take it off tomorrow
Please take it off today

Then when breakfast comes
I'll know
I can eat my breakfast
Using every toe

I've a yearn for a painting, painter
Please paint me something good
Make the background a snow scene, painter
And the foreground a plate of food

Then when breakfast comes
I'll know
I can eat my breakfast
Sitting in the snow

There's a straw in your field, farmer
Please chop it down for me
I shall use it for drinking my liquor
Lemonade, coffee or tea

Then when breakfast comes I'll know
I can sip my coffee
Very, very slow

Slow should of course be slowly
But I had to make the thing rhyme
