Pulling, pulling
Perry Smith
makes daisy chains from rope
he’ll later bind the Clutters
when he finds it hard to cope
Richard mean and pretty
with a very twisted stutter
Seems to find the robbery
A good excuse for murder
Perrys mother with a lasso
cruelly yanks a calf
His mother being beaten
by his drunk and angry dad
Being poor is aggravation
Aspirin by the can
The Clutters found
Shot and bound
On a treasure map

Hog tied he slits his throat
Hog tied life ends with sturdy rope
Tied in a sweet and sturdy knot

Lady with the Darlings finds
a collar is a source of pride
Aunt Shirley puts the muzzle on
and Lady flees to unbelong
Slurping bread ropes with the Tramp
She finds it once again
The Tramp says now lets go find out
where freedom really ends
The catchers come
so now shes snug
In penitentiary

Then she’s tied up in the yard
The men have come to save her
offering to tie the knot
of what became of that old hat
The Tramp returns
and kills the rat
(The rat would eat the baby!)
with collars on
and pedigrees
The Tramp belongs with Lady!
