《Griselda》歌词

[00:00:00] Griselda - Natalie Merchant

[00:00:09] Griselda is greedy I'm sorry to say

[00:00:19] She isn't contented with for meals a day

[00:00:28] Like breakfast like dinner supper and tea

[00:00:38] Griselda is greedy as greedy can be

[00:00:50] She snoops about the larder

[00:00:52] For sundry small supplies

[00:00:55] Breaks the little crusty bits

[00:00:56] Off rims of apple pies

[00:00:59] She pokes the roast potato dish

[00:01:01] When Sunday dinner's done

[00:01:03] And if there are two left in it

[00:01:05] Griselda snitches one

[00:01:08] Cold chicken and cold cauliflower

[00:01:12] She pulls in little chunks

[00:01:16] And when Cook calls

[00:01:20] What are you doing there

[00:01:24] Griselda bunks

[00:01:29] Griselda is greedy That's how she feels

[00:01:38] She simply can't help eating in between meals

[00:01:47] And she always forgets what it's leading to though

[00:01:56] The Doctor has told her You know

[00:02:02] Why don't you

[00:02:41] When the stomach ache starts and Griselda says

[00:02:48] Oh

[00:02:56] And she slips down to the dining room

[00:02:59] When everyone's in bed

[00:03:01] For cheese rind on the supper tray

[00:03:03] And buttered crusts of bread

[00:03:05] A biscuit from the biscuit box

[00:03:08] Lump sugar from the bowl

[00:03:10] A gherkin from the pickle jar

[00:03:12] Are all Griselda's toll;

[00:03:14] Tastes the salted almonds

[00:03:18] And she tries the candied fruits

[00:03:25] And when Dad shouts

[00:03:29] Who is it down below

[00:03:33] Griselda scoots

[00:03:42] Griselda is greedy Her relatives scold

[00:03:51] And tell her she'll be somewhere when she's old

[00:03:59] She will lose her complexion she's sure to grow fat

[00:04:09] Spoil her inside does she know what she's at

[00:04:17] Some people are greedy Leave it at that
