Melting Arthur - Robyn Hitchcock

Dad’s got something up his sleeve

Melting Arthur been conceived

I love winter spring and fall

You I love the best of all

Daddy’s just a bogus man

Let us get him while we can

In the coal shed when he’s high

One and one and one is three

That’s too much for you and me

Arthur is a good boy now

Milks his Mom and milks the cow

On a grey mid-winter's morn

Melting Arthur he was born

He grew up extremely nice

Melting hearts as hard as ice, 'cause

He loves winter, spring and fall

He loves Mother best of all

But the sad thing is to say

Nasty Dad gets in the way

His demons become too much

She recoils at his touch

Sleeps out in the rabbit hutch

With Arthur

Nasty Dad

Nasty Dad

Nasty Dad

Nasty …

Dad gets jealous, what a drag

Finds them in a sleeping bag

Though he’s only

But Dad constructs a special bomb

To blow them all to kingdom come

But melting Arthur gets there first

Melts down Dad and buys a hearse
