Jane,

pernicious is the guy who wrote that.....

now with the toast
and the jam
I won't have any
til you show me where
those legs, those legs
are up at the coast

dry for now
send some chow
and I don't mean a woof

my pooch is whiter than snow

show me again
those legs
that arm
that throat drinking

not to be taken with a grain of salt
