Transcript

One Dark Night
In the Middle of the Day,
Two Dead Boys
Got Up to to play,
They Stood Back to Back
To Face One Another,
Drew Their Swords
And Shot Each Other,
A Deaf Policeman Heard the Noise
And Ran to Save the Two Dead Boys,
If You Believe This Tale Is Tall
Just Ask the Blind Man,
He Saw It All.
