Once or twice roll the and pay no attention, What's a mule but a with blinkered intention?
1] Once a boat in the Med, A man fell and he sunk like pig lead. Twice yeah he up for air, Fighting off the waves as they on his head. Three times he signalled distress m'aider. Heard the shipping news but he to refuse, And instead went ahead his fishing cruise. times shunning advice from the mainland. Into the for his beauty sleep, Now he's off the coast of Corsica sheep.
Like a old mule, and cruel. Knowing from wrong, headstrong.
2] Once upon a in the west, A stole a cotton gin to fix up her dress. Twice on the run the law, looting around never hurt no one before. Three she's back in the town before sundown. Got a big game and she's feeling the strain, tricks for the kicks of the men that came. Four her mother warned her baby don't pilfer. Well she Robin Hood 'cos she stole from the good, And now she's in her own bed made of gopherwood.
Like a old mule, and cruel. Knowing from wrong, headstrong.
Once or roll the dice and pay no attention, What's a mule but a fool blinkered intention? a dime in your prime hang the consequences, Never sitting on ain't got the time.
3] Once said the to the boy, You'd be better off if you my ploy. Twice the ruse ahead, He carried out the wolf's agenda as it read. the people discounted the warning. So the wolf had a feast the value decreased, And the boy his joy when the herding ceased. times rejected from other employment. The plan went awry he was the fall guy, And the notion of was a blatant lie.
Like a old mule, and cruel. Knowing good wrong, headstrong.
Once or twice the dice and pay no attention, What's a mule but a fool with intention? Flip a dime in prime hang the consequences, Never sitting on fences got the time. Never sitting on ain't got the time.
