Intro: verse 1 My heart it goes out to that poor little Dutch boy who stopped a great flood with the tip of his thumb Through parades and medals he felt no joy and took to his bed with a bottle of rum verse 2 The queen she arrived in her motorcade to give the good Dutch boy a commemorative pen But he watched as the milkmaids all withered and grayed and he knew that the waters must rise again Interlude verse 3 Because the world is made up of milk and scissors milk and scissors in a spiraling chain Milk and scissors like a cheap squirting flower milk and scissors like worms when it rains Outro
