Letter-Bomb

Lyrics

As an afterthought I'd like to add What it was I thought you said

I've been a fool, a fool! But life has been cruel, so cruel! I'm sure that that's an explaination I'm sure that that's an explaination I'm sure that that's an explaination You'll be a jewel In my clockwork mechanism

The problem is discourse is problematic I insist in this respect on being most emphatic

"Oh yes," says me "Oh yes," says I "Says who?," says we "Says I," says I "Says you," says he "Says I," says I "Says I," says I "Says I," says I

The A was short and fat as in Manhattan H was very long and slender And N is tender to architecture

But a letter-bomb's an apt expression A letter-bomb is an apt expression A letter-bomb is an apt expression
