ON THE 13TH DAY OF X-MAS

Corrugated horseflesh candy in lime marmalade
Dolphin heads in aspic with a butterfly brocade

On the 13th day my true love gave to me (chorus x 3)

Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with lighting rods as plumes
Double-jointed black men playing leap-frog on the moon

(chorus)

Seafoam in a snow-white shroud, red herrings round its teeth
Puffball spores exploding on a bed of burning wreaths

(chorus)

Venus fly-trap tigers of a tin-foil tapestry
Timber moes in mustard, warbling in a minor key

(chorus)
