Lyrics
Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you
You name the "Esu" baby, I'll name the glue[?]
You name the spongy bunky, I'll go on and name it too
Molly molly molly...
Carve a glob of hardened moosey in the zoo
You fetch that moosey and you know I'm gonna fetch it too
You fetch that moosey and you know he's gonna dig it too
Molly molly molly...
Serve it to me baby and tell me ????
Morning is approaching and it's time to start anew
Eddie Dingle's coming over and he brought his Uncle Lou
Molly molly molly...
Fetch me a Van Winkle and a tinkle dinkle doo
?????? Van Winkle say fuck you
Thank you mang, I miss you oh Van Winkle say fuck you
Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you
You name that "Esu" baby, I'll name the glue[?]
You name the spongy bunky, I'll go on and name it too
Molly molly molly...
Carve me a glob of hardened moosey in the zoo
Well, you fetch that moosey and you know I'm gonna fetch it too
You fetch that moosey and you know he's gonna dig it too
Molly molly molly...[4]
