When I was five my brother stole my lollipop
My lollipop stole he
But I didn't mutter Damn you hide
He needed candy more than I'd
So instead of biting off his hand
I just said Goo I understand
When I was ten my mother trounced me with a mop
With a mop trounced she me
But I didn't mutter Damn your eyes
I knew she needed exercise
So instead of joining a gypsy band
I just said Mom I understand
At thirty a man in a car ruthlessly ran me down
He ruthlessly down ran me
But I didn't mutter Damn your spleen
For a man's a man but a car's a machine
So instead of stripping him of his land
I just said Jack I understand
Now I'm 51 and I've met Claire
We're engaged to wed
Engaged to wed are we
But tonight I tell you Damn you Claire
You played me evil and that's not fair
So instead of remaining calm and bland
I hereby do not understand
