Tori Amos - Toodles Mr Jim
from the "Caught A Lite Sneeze" single

I'm
Hey yes
I said yes
I said horray, yes
Yippy yay
I said diddily hey
And

Toodles Mr Jim, you cherry picker
Toodles I say, so long
Hear that your grave's a little warm you stickler
Sing 'em all your happy song
It's today
Today Sunday by your grave

I say toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Taught me so well how to spell those red in, in and hey
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered and swattered blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead

Now, now it's toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Build that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb when they've got a spell

Toodles Mr Jim
You are my sweet favourite neighbor of them all of them
Girls go to their parties, I don't care
Cause I'm with you still

That was Toodles Mr Jim
Mr Jim died two weeks ago
And he taught me how to pick cherries
And I punched his daughter in the nose because she was mean
Mr Jim was good
