Twisted

Hush little baby don't you cry,

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird,

And if that mockingbird don't sing,

Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring,

and if that diamond ring don't shine,

Mama's gonna buy you some turpentine,

And if that turpentine don't do,

Mama's gonna bury you in a box for shoes.

And if that box for shoe's don't kill,

Mama's gonna throw you in the landfill.

lalala, la, la, la....

Ole King Cole

Old King Cole

was a cruel old soul

& a cruel old soul was he

He called for his wife

he called for his knight

he called for his butchers three

Every butcher, he had a hammer

And a very fine hammer had he-

which the butchers three used

to crush the knight’s ‘n’ queen’s heads

wham bam hammer

went the butchers.

Oh, there’s none so rare,

As can compare

With King Cole and his butchers three.

Hickory Dickory

Hickory dickory dock

The man looked at the clock

“When the clock strikes 12”

He thought to himself

“I will murder my wife with a rock.”

Hickory dickory deep

His wife was fast asleep

The man watched the clock

And grabbed for the rock

This secret forever he’ll keep.

Hickory dickory deeper.

His wife had been a cheater.

She really should’ve known

When she left him alone

That no one else could keep her.

Hickory dickory closer.

The deadline is almost over.

As the minute passed nine,

The man felt just fine

And thought of the ways he could pose her.

.......

Hickory dickory “Please!”

The mailman screamed for the police.

The woman was dead

With a rock in her head.

The mailman fell down on his knees.

Hickory dickory miser.

He almost didn’t recognize her.

His lover was there

Body full bare

Oh, how he had prized her.

Hickory dickory dock.

The husband now brandished a glock.

Two shots from the dark

The gun met its mark

Hickory dickory dock.

Humpty Bloody Dumpty

Humpty Bloody Dumpty bled all over the walls

Humpty Bloody Dumpty was forced to fall

All the Demons horses and all the Witches Men

Wouldn't put Humpty Bloody Dumpty together again.

The Ring a-round The Rosies

Ring around the TV

A ghost girl crawling near me

Seven Day! Seven Days!

We all die now.

Life is but a nightmare

Row row row your boat gently down the stream Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily no one can hear you scream.

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went for the kill

With the axe Jack brought her

The body fell, blood spilt down

And the head came tumbling after

Up Jack got, and away he trot

As fast as he could go

Jill went too, after you

With knives to end your woe

--“the platter.” Really, I meant “the platter.”

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.

His wife could eat no lean.

And between the two of them

They licked her innards clean.

In the end, she had more...

Old mother hubbard

Went to the cupboard

to get a soup bone

Femur, Tibia, Humerus?

In the end, there was

none

She turned on her heel

and went by wheel

and knocked on a door

"Hello Good Neighbor!

Don't mind me..."

And the neighbor hit the floor

Old mother Hubbard

went to the basement

where the tools await her

And then the bones

for the soups and stews

she had more...

Mary Got Killed

Mary had a little lamb

Mary had a little lamb

Who's fur was made of souls

Everywhere that Mary went

Everywhere that Mary went

They would stalk her
