On the 13th Day

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me (x3, Chorus)
Corrugated horse flesh candy in lime marmalade
Dolphin heads in aspic with a butterfly brocade

Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with lightning rods as plumes
Double-jointed black men playing leap-frog on the moon

Sea foam in a snow white shroud, red herrings round its teeth
Puffball spores exploding on a bed of burning wreaths

Venus fly-trap tigers of a tin-foil tapestry
Timber moles in mustard, warbling in a minor key
