The Tiger Lillies - Hipdeep Family lyrics

In January Cousin Fred, We found him in the attic dead. In February's odd adventure Father lost his dentures. In March Fiona had a fright When coming home alone one night, Some men in a long black car Made her get in and drove her far. In April Horace left behind What little thought, what little mind He may have had. In the result He joined an unknown eastern cult, Tattooed his ears, pierced his nose, Glides around on henna-ed toes. His relatives are unforgiving, Assert he's no longer living. The Hipdeep family. In May Aunt Flo began to sneeze, Which heralded some strange disease. In June Jeffrey got himself arrested He's still far and wide detested. In July Mama's pin-money dwindled Away to nought when she was swindled. In August Bruno had a fit, A pa**ing tot he went and bit. The Hipdeep family. In September we were sad to lose Miss Grey while on a cruise She happened to fall overboard Into Norway's deepest fjord. In October Alice was betrothed To Edgard whom she found she loathed, His behavior ever since Has been enough to make her wince. In November it was rather frightning When Baby Boo was struck by lightning, The experts think perhaps he'll walk And even sort of learn to talk. And in December Amy's luck was rotten, While singing 'Die Frau and Schatten', Without warning lost her voice, A twist of fate, had no choice. The Hipdeep family. So much for us, we hope that you Have managed somehow to get through The year and so can celebrate A bit before the hands of fate Shall get us in its grip again, But we anticipate our Gorey end.
