SNIP SNIP - TIGER LILLIES
C F Dm G
Conrad's mother said Conrad dear
C F Dm G
must go out and leave you here.
C F Dm G
but mind now, Conrad, what I say,
C F Dm G
don't suck your thumbs while I'm away.
C F Dm G
snip snip the scissors go
C F Dm G
and Conrad cries out oh!
C F Dm G
snip snip they go so fast,
C F Dm G
and Conrad's thumbs are off at last.

C F Dm G
well,mama had scarcely turned her back,
C F Dm G
when the thumbs were in , alack! alack!
C F Dm G
the door burst open and in he ran,
C F Dm G
that great long legged scissor man.
C F Dm G
snip snip the scissors go
C F Dm G
and Conrad cries out oh!
C F Dm G
snip snip they go so fast,
C F Dm G
and Conrad's thumbs are off at last.
C F Dm G
well, mama comes home and there Conrad stands,
C F Dm G
and he looks quite sad as he shows his hands,
C F Dm G
Ha! Ha! said mama, I knew he'd come,
C F Dm G
for naughty little suck-a-thumb.
C F Dm G
snip snip the scissors go
C F Dm G
and Conrad cries out oh!
C F Dm G
snip snip they go so fast,
C F Dm G
and Conrad bleeds to death at last.
