Oooh give me a little time to choose

Water babies singing in a lily pool delight

Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night

Fi fo the Black Queen marching single file

Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys
Little nigger sugar then a rub-a-dub-a-baby oil

Black on black on every finger nail and toe
We've only begun - begun

Ah ah ah ah ah

solo:
Am*
Walking true to style she's vulgar abuse and vile
The Black Queen tattoos all her pies

Am                4765xx
She boils and she bakes

        G
And she never dots her I's

C G Am C G Am Dm B7
La la la la la la la la la la la la

A7    G7

            C                G
Forget your sing-alongs and your lullabies
 Am
Surrender to the city of the fireflies
 Dm
Dance with the devil in beat with the band
 E
To hell with all of you hand-in-hand
   F        G      C             G      Am
But now it's time to be gone (la la la la) forever
Dm                E              F     G    C
La la la la...
