Lyrics
Thank you for the flowers
I threw them on the fire
And I burned the photographs of you and your ghost
God, they were ugly children
So yell at little bastard of that brother of mine
Trying to trick a poor old woman
'Til I almost had a weakness
Last week cousin Florence
Bit your Uncle Joe
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
Said that he looked like the devil
Then she said, "Pass the vinegar
I'm beginning to think
That I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking"
I thought I almost had a weakness
It pains me to mention
These delicate concerns
But while I have to tolerate you family jewels
I really mustn't grumble
'Cause when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and down
And you little swines will get nothing
Though I almost had a weakness
