lyrics

MRS. STITCHER

(Curse you, with devils at your feet,
tap-dancing on my grounded heart)

Once upon a time, there lived a girl with very big eyes. One day, her gigantic eyes popped out like buttons. Being all too apparent, Mama took her eyes, and used them to replace the missing buttons on Papa’s shirt.

“I’m sorry, my daughter can’t come to the phone right now, I am busy stitching her eyes to my husband’s shirt. Could you call back later?”

So, Papa walked around with his daughter’s eyes dangling from his shirt. He liked to play-- Papa liked to play with these gigantic eyes, like jackstones, or skiprope (ringed around like hulahoops)

“Who is on the line, you ask? Well, my Dear, my name is Mrs. Stitcher. Would you like to come over for dinner?”

That night, Papa’s eyes (not apparently big) popped out, too. Mama took them, and stuffed his eyes in the microwave to pop with popcorn. Wearing Papa’s shirt, she sat in front of the TV, and put down the phone.

(Curse you, with devils at your feet,
tap-dancing on my grounded heart)

Absolutely awesome production by an exceptional group of artists. Clipping is experimental hip-hop at its finest, in our humble opinion. Jack of None
