Snakes And Ladders

Well I can tolerate most folk



And a few folk tolerate me



But I know a girl



A very special girl



Who thinks I'm twenty three



And when she grows up



She says she's gonna marry me.



We go up the ladders



And down the snakes Pol



That's four so you go up a ladder



And that's three so I go down a snake.



I saw Charlie Chaplin once, I mean for real



Waiting for an aeroplane



All wrapped up in a blanket with himself



Sat in a wheel-chair waiting to die.



We go up the ladders



And down the snakes Pol



That's six so you have another throw



And that's one so I go down a snake.



And I remember when as a kid



He had me in stitches



For threepence at the flix



And it didn't seem right.



We go up the ladders



And down the snakes Pol



That's two so you go up a ladder



Yikes, that's five so I go down a snake again.



Well I can tolerate most folk



And a few folk tolerate me.
