Snip Snip - The Tiger Lillies

Conrad’s mother said Conrad dear

I must go out and leave you here

But mind now, Conrad, what I say

Don’t suck your thumbs while I’m away

Snip!

snip

That great tall tailor, he always comes

For naughty boys who suck their thumbs

And ere they wonder what he’s about

He’s got his great long scissors out

Snip snip the scissors go

And Conrad cries out oh!

Snip snip they go so fast

And Conrad’s thumbs are off at last

Well, mama had scarcely turned her back

When the thumbs were in, alack!

alack!

The door burst open and in he ran

That great long legged scissor man

Snip snip the scissors go

And Conrad cries out oh!

Snip snip they go so fast

And Conrad’s thumbs are off at last

Well, mama comes home and there Conrad stands

And he looks quite sad as he shows his hands

Ha!

Ha!

said mama, I knew he’d come

For naughty little suck-a-thumb

CHORUS and Conrad breathes his last

CHORUS and Conrad bleeds to death at last
