When You Play the Violin

When You Play The Violin - The Gothic Archies

I have known little civility sir

Few have been kind fewer truthful

And though within my ability sir

I remain dutifully youthful

I go gray then bald with chagring

When you play the violin

How I pray for death to begin

When you play the violin

True there's been trouble and trickery sir

Trembling and tribulations

Twitches from switches of hickory sir

You sir and your usurpations

But my patience wears very thin

When you play the violin

How I stay I can't imagine

When you play the violing

I've endured struggling and thuggery sir

Physical Ed and psychosis

Sculleries skulls and skullduggery sir

Haplessness hype and hypnosis

But oy vey

The horrible ding

When you play the violing

You betray an ear made of tin

When you play -- when you slay

The violing
