Letra de Mr. Plum
A curious person is Mr. Plum Never glumThough he had a one-foot leg A one-foot trunk And a head going one-foot high He juggled daggers without buzz And sent them flashing through the skyAlways a child and never a man Poor Mr. Plum The dwa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-warfHe courted Big Bella, the bareback rider And tried herHe juggled, she rode They coupled in fun And soon were parents of an angelic son Who caught their days and stole their nights They called him Gabriel by the starsAlways a child and never a man Glad Mr. Plum The dwa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-warfSweet Gabriel brought them joy for seven years Past all fearsThen suddenly to the dwarf's dismay This brilliant boy grew taller day by day Soon the son outgrew the sire And joy to jealousy gave awayAlways a child and never a man Sad Mr. Plum The dwa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-warfPoor Mr. Plum grew sick and cold with envy, with envy'Til one night, the moon in his head, moaning in secret He wished his son dead A roar of wrath, he flashed his knife And severed Gabriel's headAlways a child and never a man Mad Mr. Plum The dwa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-warfAs a favour to the height of the condemned Like a friendThe hangman built a shorter fall But the mad dwarf shouting shattered the fun No, I want to die like a man and the hangman he didn't score No longer a child at last a man, poor Mr. PlumThe dwarf, the dwarf, the dwarf, the dwarf The dwarf, the dwarf, the dwarf, the dwarf, the dwarf
