Griselda - Natalie Merchant[00:00:00]
Griselda is greedy I'm sorry to say [00:00:09]
She isn't contented with for meals a day [00:00:19]
Like breakfast like dinner supper and tea[00:00:28]
Griselda is greedy as greedy can be [00:00:38]
She snoops about the larder[00:00:50]
For sundry small supplies [00:00:52]
Breaks the little crusty bits[00:00:55]
Off rims of apple pies [00:00:56]
She pokes the roast potato dish[00:00:59]
When Sunday dinner's done [00:01:01]
And if there are two left in it[00:01:03]
Griselda snitches one[00:01:05]
Cold chicken and cold cauliflower[00:01:08]
She pulls in little chunks[00:01:12]
And when Cook calls[00:01:16]
What are you doing there[00:01:20]
Griselda bunks [00:01:24]
Griselda is greedy That's how she feels [00:01:29]
She simply can't help eating in between meals [00:01:38]
And she always forgets what it's leading to though[00:01:47]
The Doctor has told her You know[00:01:56]
Why don't you[00:02:02]
When the stomach ache starts and Griselda says[00:02:41]
Oh[00:02:48]
And she slips down to the dining room[00:02:56]
When everyone's in bed [00:02:59]
For cheese rind on the supper tray [00:03:01]
And buttered crusts of bread [00:03:03]
A biscuit from the biscuit box [00:03:05]
Lump sugar from the bowl [00:03:08]
A gherkin from the pickle jar [00:03:10]
Are all Griselda's toll;[00:03:12]
Tastes the salted almonds [00:03:14]
And she tries the candied fruits[00:03:18]
And when Dad shouts[00:03:25]
Who is it down below[00:03:29]
Griselda scoots [00:03:33]
Griselda is greedy Her relatives scold [00:03:42]
And tell her she'll be somewhere when she's old [00:03:51]
She will lose her complexion she's sure to grow fat [00:03:59]
Spoil her inside does she know what she's at[00:04:09]
Some people are greedy Leave it at that [00:04:17]
