Clifford T. Ward Snakes And Ladders Lyrics

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.
