Song: A Baby For Pree
C
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
F
Makes babies to breathe
C
With their hearts hanging open all over the sheets
F
As soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer
C
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing
F
They'll sting through her chest with a force hard and beating
C
Till wonderfully wet she will get
F
Until she's soaked inside her clothes
E
And there is no sorry to be sorry for
F E
For a roll around the floor some afternoon so sound and soft
F
It made her swallow all her sweat
E
With every bit of breath she coughs
F
And when the day it came to pour all her babies
G
All across the bathroom floor
C
She will be swimming in them all forever more
