Tiger Lillies Besotted Mother Lyrics

Her husband left Goola Flibbage before the baby was
weaned
To support herself and Florabelle as a charwoman she
cleaned
She felt there had never been such a beautiful child, her
friends they did concur,
It struck her how charming she would look in a costume of
white bunny fur.
She bought a tam, some mittens, a coat with a little
cape, A necklet, booties, and to complete the ensemble a muff
with a funny shape.
The first coolish day of autumn she dressed Florabelle in
them all,
She left her outside a greengrocer when on him she did
call.
A pack of wild dogs came round the corner, the butchers
their intention,
They ripped Florabelle to pieces in a second.
